When designing a form, you can apply strikethrough formatting to text on your form. You can also make strikethrough formatting the default format for text inside certain types of controls (control: A graphical user interface object, such as a text box, check box, scroll bar, or command button, that lets users control the program. You use controls to display data or choices, perform an action, or make the user interface easier to read.), such as text boxes and expression boxes.
- Select the text or control that you want to change.
- On the Formatting toolbar, click Font
. - In the Font task
pane, select the Strikethrough check
box.
Note When filling out a form, you can use the previous procedure to apply strikethrough formatting to text in certain types of rich text fields (rich text field: A field that can show formatting and graphics, such as an embedded object, and not just text.). To quickly determine whether you're in a rich text field, place your insertion point in the field. If the Font button on the Formatting toolbar appears active instead of dimmed, the field supports strikethrough formatting.
