Using the Strikethrough command is the simplest way to create a strikethrough line through selected text. If you want to further modify the look of the line, use the option available in the Fonts window.

First select some text or a text box containing text to which you want to add the strikethrough.

To add a strikethrough to selected text:

Choose Format > Font > Strikethrough.

A strikethrough appears through the selected text in the same color as the text.

To add and format a strikethrough to selected text:

  1. Click Fonts in the toolbar.

  2. In the Fonts window, select the kind of strikethrough you want from the Text Strikethrough pop-up menu:

    Single:  strikes through the text with a single line.

    Double:  strikes through the text with a double line.

    A strikethrough appears through the selected text in the same color as the text.

  3. To change the strikethrough color, choose Color from the Text Strikethrough pop-up menu.

  4. Select a color in the Colors window.

    The strikethrough takes on the color you selected, but the text retains its original color.
