How to Strikethrough Text in Word

Strikethrough text is just what it sounds like -- text with a line through it. When collaborating on a Microsoft Word 2010 document with other people, you may use strikethrough formatting to indicate a deletion when editing a draft. This formatting is sometimes used in comedy writing, with the stricken text containing the joke.

Instructions

1. Open your Microsoft Word document.

2. Select, or highlight, the text that you want to strike through.

3. Click the Strikethrough" button, which has the letters "abc" with a line through them in the Fonts group.

4. To apply double strikethrough formatting, launch the Font dialog box by clicking the button in the bottom right corner of the Home tab. Check the box next to "Double Strikethrough." Highlight the desired text and click the "Strikethrough" button.
