How-to Guide

1. Apply strikethrough

Entry: Home tab → Font group dialog box launcher → Font tab → Strikethrough

1. Select the cell, range, or text that you want to format.
2. Click the dialog box launcher in the lower-right corner of the Font group on the Home tab.
3. In the Font tab, select Strikethrough under Effects.
4. Click OK to apply the change.
5. For a faster method, press Ctrl+5.

Success Criteria

• A horizontal line appears through the selected content.
• The original text, numbers, and formulas remain unchanged.
• The formatting stays in place after you save the file.

Tips While Using

• Ctrl+5 works as a toggle, so pressing it again removes the format.
• To format only part of the text in one cell, enter cell editing mode first and then select the specific text.
• Strikethrough is a display format, not a delete action.

2. Remove strikethrough

Entry: Home tab → Strikethrough button, or the Font settings dialog

1. Select the cell or text that already has strikethrough.
2. Open the Home tab.
3. Click Strikethrough again, or open the Font settings dialog and clear Strikethrough.
4. Confirm the change to remove the line.

Success Criteria

• The horizontal line disappears.
• The cell content returns to normal display.
• Other text styles remain as currently set.

Tips While Using

• If the line still appears, check whether only part of the text was changed instead of the full cell content.
• Before printing, use print preview to confirm the final appearance.
