|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports adding strikethrough to selected text on Mac from the Home tab, floating toolbar, and Font settings. It also supports double strikethrough and revision display for deleted content. | Word support states that users can apply or remove single-line strikethrough from Home > Strikethrough and use the Font dialog box for double strikethrough. | Google Docs help states that users can bold, italicize, underline, or strikethrough text from the toolbar or the Format > Text menu. | Notion help states that users can apply strikethrough with a keyboard shortcut or by typing Markdown-style tildes around text. | Acrobat help focuses on markup and review tools for PDFs, such as comments and selected-text markups, rather than standard body-text strikethrough formatting in an editable word-processing document. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides multiple entry points in one editing flow, including the ribbon, floating toolbar, and Font dialog box. Distinct: single strikethrough, double strikethrough, and revision display can be used within the same document workflow. | Compared with WPS: Word also supports single and double strikethrough, but the referenced page mainly highlights the Home tab and Font dialog workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports strikethrough, but the referenced help page emphasizes toolbar and Format menu access and does not highlight double strikethrough controls. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more shortcut- and Markdown-oriented, with less emphasis on traditional document font dialog controls. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more focused on PDF review and markup scenarios than text-format editing inside a word-processing document. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to mark deletions directly in editable documents on macOS, WPS Strikethrough fits everyday writing, revision, and formatting work well. Other products also support related text-marking or review methods, but their entry points and primary use cases differ.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable Users | Core Need | How WPS Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Revising contract clauses | Legal and administrative staff | Original wording must stay visible while removed text is marked | Apply strikethrough to selected text and review changes side by side |
| 2 | Marking obsolete information | Teachers, students, and office users | Old content should remain visible instead of being deleted immediately | Use strikethrough to mark outdated paragraphs or phrases |
| 3 | Comparing draft revisions | Editors and writers | It is hard to identify removed text across multiple revisions | Keep earlier wording visible with strikethrough for comparison |
| 4 | Formatting review suggestions | Team collaborators | Review suggestions can blend into the main text | Use strikethrough to mark text proposed for removal |
| 5 | Distinguishing single and double strikethrough | Users handling structured documents | Different deletion states need different visual markers | Choose strikethrough or double strikethrough in Font settings |
