2. Tap Tools at the bottom.
3. Open the Home tab.

Success Criteria

• On-screen result: The text in the selected cell shows a horizontal strikethrough line.
• What you can do next: You can continue typing, editing, or saving the file.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If you do not select a cell first, you may not see any visible formatting change.
• Environment note: Strikethrough affects text display in a cell, so the result is harder to see in an empty cell.

1. Select the cell that already has strikethrough.
2. Tap Tools at the bottom.
3. Open the Home tab.

5. Confirm that the line has been removed from the text.

Success Criteria

• On-screen result: The strikethrough effect disappears and the text returns to normal display.
• What you can do next: You can continue applying other text formatting or save the document.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If you select a different cell first, you may apply strikethrough to the new cell instead of removing it from the original one.

3. Check the effect with text color

Entry path: Use the Strikethrough button together with text color settings

1. Select the cell text whose effect you want to review.
2. Set or confirm the text color first.
3. Go to Tools → Home → Strikethrough to apply the effect.
4. Check whether the strikethrough line appears in the same color as the text.

Success Criteria

• On-screen result: The strikethrough line appears in the same color as the text.
• What you can do next: You can continue adjusting font color, font size, or other formatting.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If the text color is too close to the background color, the strikethrough line may be hard to notice.
