LaTeX (pronounced "latek") is document preparation software used mostly in academic fields such as mathematics, engineering and economics. Primarily, LaTeX is a programmable typesetting tool used to automate typesetting and publishing functions, including numbering, tables and figures; page layout; and bibliographies, among many others. LaTeX documents are formatted by inserting LaTeX commands throughout the text. There are many structural and font adjustment commands that allow great control over the appearance of a document. Creating bold and underscored text is simply a matter of applying the appropriate LaTeX commands.

1
Create a LaTeX file, including the text you want bolded and underscored. As an example, the phrase "Hello, World" will be used to show proper technique.

2
Place the text inside brackets, preceded by the word "underline" and a backslash. For example, to underscore "Hello, World" you would type \underline{Hello, World}.

Type an open bracket and then a backslash, followed by the letters "b" and "f" without spaces. Next, make one space and insert the \underline{Hello,World} phrase, followed by a close bracket. For example, {\bf \underline{Hello,World}}. This will make your text both bold and underlined.
