When using strikethrough, the most common questions involve text visibility, color behavior, and button location; this section covers 3 common questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
Does strikethrough delete the text directly?
- No. Strikethrough is only a text-formatting effect.
- After you apply it, the original text stays in place.
- If you want to remove the text completely, delete it manually after review.
Can I change the strikethrough color separately?
- The strikethrough color follows the current font color.
- You cannot set only the line color separately.
- If you want a different appearance, change the text color and then review the overall result.
Why can’t I find the Strikethrough button?
- Make sure you opened an editable WPS Writer document.
- Tap Tools and switch to the Home tab.
- Look for the Strikethrough button with the
~~ab~~icon.
If you searched for why can’t I find the Strikethrough button in WPS on iOS, the usual cause is that you have not opened the Tools panel or switched to the Home tab yet.
