Cell Options command
Defines universal cell options. When formatting cells using the Alignment and Formatting cell options, selecting Default implements the corresponding setting from this dialog.
Underline Type Definition
Select any required cell underline options. Changes made here affect cell underlining for all cells in the current document.
Name
Displays the name for the line style. For standard CaseView styles the name and the type will be identical. CaseView allows the user to create up to 7 user-defined styles.
Type
To create different underline styles to apply to cells, select an underline type and then modify the style, weight, spacing, and display options for each of the lines as necessary. The Sample box displays the effects of the changes.
First underline
Define the style for the first of the underlines.
Position
Type or select the baseline spacing. This number represents the distance between the cell contents and the underline.

Second and third underlines
Define the style for the second and, if required, third of the underlines. This option only turns on for double and triple underline styles. All the characteristics of the second or third underline can be different from the first underline and from each other, if so desired.
Offset
Type or select the offset spacing. For the second underline, this number represents the distance between the first underline and the current underline. For the third underline, it represents the distance between the second and third underlines.
Note:When exporting a CaseView document to PDF, a double underline may appear as a single thick underline onscreen (though depending on printer driver it typically prints correctly). Due to screen resolution limitations, the offset may not be presented at magnifications below 150%. To compensate for this, set the offset to 1pt or higher.
