Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Underlining Text in Table

[latexhelp1]

Is it possible to underline text within a table? \underline{} is not underlining.To clarify, here's an example. I am interested in underlining the word Panel in the table below:

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
\begin{table}
\begin{threeparttable}
\begin{tabular}{lccccccc}
\multicolumn{7}{c}{\textbf{\large{Table:}}} \\
\hline \hline
& & \small{{(1)}} & \small{{(2)}} & \small{{(3)}} & \small{{(4)}} & \small{{(5)}} \\
\midrule
\multicolumn{7}{c}{Panel A:} \\
Variable & & 0.001 & 0.002 & -0.024*** & -0.028 & -0.015*** \\
	&  & \small{(0.001)} & \small{(0.003)} & \small{(0.004)} & \small{(0.078)} & \small{(0.003)} \\
\\
Observations & & 588916 & 588916 & 588916 & 588916 & 588916 \\
$R^2$ & & 0.03 & 0.50 & 0.12 & 0.13 & 0.27 \\
\hline 
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\begin{tablenotes}
\vspace{0.2cm}
\scriptsize{

\item Notes: 
}
\end{tablenotes}
\end{threeparttable}
\end{table}
\end{center}

I very much appreciate any help you can provide.

I can confirm that it works with \underline, I tested it with your code and

Code: Select all

\multicolumn{7}{c}{\underline{Panel} A:} \\

So you are doing something you did not show, for example loading a package which interferes. Unfortunately you did not post a compilable example. A reader has to guess that you load booktabs and the threeparttable package but doesn't know what else you are doing.

Dear Stefan,

My deepest apologies. I am very novice to latex, and do not have a very good sense of which of my packages make what parts of my code work. I did not want to post any superfluous code. But yes, I do have usepackage for booktaps and threeparttable.

And the \underline{} part is not working. That is what my original question is in reference to.

Frankly, I have no idea how to make tables. So I'm open to other means of making tables if my code is not good.

I'd very much appreciate any help you could provide.
