I want to underline the word, I have in a cell that is made up by merging other cells. I have no problem underlining words in single cells but not merged cells.
Any help?

What I have tried:

I have tried the following

VB

Public oSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Public oRng As Excel.Range
oRng = oSheet.Range("E" & x, "H" & x)
        oRng.MergeCells = True
        oRng.Value = "Count Back"
        oRng.Range("E" & x).Font.Underline = Excel.XlUnderlineStyle.xlUnderlineStyleSingle

and

VB

Public oSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Public oRng As Excel.Range
oRng = oSheet.Range("E" & x, "H" & x)
        oRng.MergeCells = True
        oRng.Value = "Count Back"
        oRng.Range("E" & x, "H" & x).Font.Underline = Excel.XlUnderlineStyle.xlUnderlineStyleSingle

Your code is close. When you try to underline use the full reference, not just the E column part. This works:

VB

oSheet.Range("E" & x, "H" & x).Font.Underline = Excel.XlUnderlineStyle.xlUnderlineStyleSingle
