HI, I am using the pen tool (win xp, ID CS3).


I am using it to underline some line in my paragraphs and would like to activate the pen tool once, make 2 points to form a line, but then go to other part of the page, to form a NEW line, without connecting to the one I just made, so is there a way to push a key or something to temporarily "turn off" the pen tool so that a new line can be formed elswhere?

Thanks.

Nikky.
 
On Windows, ctrl click (mouse) on away from the line and then start drawing again

On Mac, press cmd click (mouse)


I don't think that is the best way to underline your text though, or words

You have several options, like a paragraph rule, or an underline.

Both are available from the paragraph and character panels respectively and offer many options for controlling the line.

 
Thank you again Eugenetyson.

Works perfect.

yeah, the boxing or underlining is to make it different artistically..


thanks again.

Nikky
