“Word Underline” is Not the Same as Underline

When an agency prepares a rule for amendment, additions must be underlined and deletions must be struck out and surrounded by brackets. Recently, an agency attempted to use a Microsoft Word formatting feature called “word underline”. This feature uses different codes to mark the text, and is therefore treated differently.

In order to assure that the rule text you prepare turns out the way you intend, please use the standard underlining feature only when you are preparing additions to rule text. If you have questions, please contact Mike Broschinsky (801-538-3003).
