    Underline only the first letter of text

    How do I make a label with text in it where only the first character of each word is underlined?

    like a hotkey?

    if so in the text property put an & before the name, example: &Label1

    Yes. I tried this and it works. Thank you. Can you recommend a font where the underscore is more noticeable?

    I have just checked every font on my system and none make the underline stand out any better.

    one possibly way would be to do 2 labels like this:

    first label: &L
    second label: ink

    change the font on the first to bold
    make backgrounds transparent on both and put together

    I don't understand what you mean by "ink". Maybe link?

    sorry m8, what I mean is do 2 labels

    in the text property (where you added the & before) on the first label put: &L
    then on the second labels text property put: ink
    then move the two labels together and it will spell Link and the first letter would be bold and underlined

    obviously ive just used Link as a reference but change the name to whatever you want the label to be. such as: Info or Text etc

    I already tried that. The problem is you can't put the 2 labels close together. There is a space the L and the i.
