Microsoft Word 2007
I am trying to put an "X" through a letter or several X's through a series of
letters that form a word. I am aware of the "strikethrough" and "double strikethrough" options but this is not what I want. I want to cross out a word using X's. Can you help me? |

AFAIK there isn't any formating tool that you could use to do this. It is
possible to overstrike one character (word, or phrase) over another. You would use and EQ field with the overstrike switch. e.g., { EQ \o(Some words,XXXXXXXXXX) } You could select text and run this macro: Sub ScratchMacro() Dim pStr As String Dim pX As String Dim i As Long pStr = Selection.Text For i = 1 To Len(pStr) pX = pX + "X" Next i Selection.Fields.Add Selection.Range, wdFieldEmpty, _ "EQ \o(" & pStr & "," & pX & ")", False End Sub Andrew K wrote: I am trying to put an "X" through a letter or several X's through a series of letters that form a word.

BTW,
Using an overstrike "X" to mark out text would probably only work (look right) with non-proportional fonts.
