Hello Graham,

Your new Macro works beautifully. Many thanks for finding the eventual cause of the problem. It's called Linguistic Incompetence because I thought "Underscore" was the US equivalent of the usual UK term of "Underline". I chose to use "Underscore" out of courtesy for your US usage and because you had used it in the original Macro. Sorry ! I am utterly discombobulated.

Having spent a lot of time (mine, yours and others'), may I ask your help in adding the few modifications which I had in mind at the outset but which were sidetracked somewhat. They would take me a long time by trial and error. Thank you.

1. Could it be modified so that the Cursor stops in turn at each isolated underlined word, or longer underlined phrase, and offers a choice YES / NO as to whether the Underline should be deleted?
2. I need the Code to work on a Selection to indicate the scope to be covered because I will never apply it to a whole document.
3. It would be helpful to include the deletion of Double Underline too.

Thank you and all contributors for your kindness. Renewed apologies. Good afternoon.
