About This Feature
Overview
Strikethrough is a text-formatting feature in WPS Spreadsheet on macOS. In collaboration scenarios, it lets you add a visible line through selected cell content or text to mark items as completed, outdated, or temporarily excluded.
Core tasks include:
- Apply strikethrough: Add strikethrough formatting to selected cells or text.
- Remove strikethrough: Clear existing strikethrough formatting and return the content to normal display.
Common use cases include task tracking, data review, and collaborative status marking. It helps preserve the original content while making status changes easy to spot. In WPS, you can use both a ribbon entry and the Command + 5 shortcut for faster formatting.
