About This Feature

Overview

Strikethrough adds a horizontal line through the middle of text. It is useful for revision marks, deleted-content indicators, and version comparison. In WPS Docs on macOS, you can apply strikethrough directly to selected text, use the Text Properties pane to apply strikethrough or double strikethrough, and remove either effect when needed.

Core tasks include:

Apply strikethrough: mark text that should stay visible but no longer be used.
Apply strikethrough through Text Properties: adjust text formatting from the side pane.
Remove strikethrough: return text to normal display.
Apply double strikethrough: add a stronger revision mark.
Remove double strikethrough: clear the double-line effect while keeping the text.

Capability Summary	Supports applying or removing strikethrough from the Home tab, and also supports strikethrough and double strikethrough in the Text Properties pane.	Supports strikethrough from Home and double strikethrough from the Font dialog.	Google Docs supports strikethrough through Format > Text > Strikethrough, and official guidance also mentions shortcut-based use.	Notion supports strikethrough with a keyboard shortcut on selected text and with Markdown-style `~` markers while typing.	Acrobat supports striking through text mainly as a PDF commenting and markup tool rather than as standard word-processing text formatting.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: offers both a toolbar path and a Text Properties path; Distinct: supports both single and double strikethrough in the same editing workflow.	Compared with WPS: it also supports single and double strikethrough, but the common workflow is centered on Home and the Font dialog.	Compared with WPS: it covers basic strikethrough, but public guidance focuses more on menu paths and shortcuts than on a formatting pane workflow.	Compared with WPS: it is more shortcut- and Markdown-oriented, with less emphasis on document-style formatting panes.	Compared with WPS: it is better aligned with PDF review and commenting workflows than with regular document text formatting.

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is editing document text, marking revisions, and switching between text effects, WPS keeps the strikethrough workflow focused inside the document editor. Google Docs and Notion fit lighter collaboration or shortcut-driven editing, while Adobe Acrobat is more aligned with PDF markup and review.
