Yes, you can search for and delete strikethrough text.

1. In the Find and Replace dialog, click More.

2. With the insertion point in the (blank) "Find what" box, click Format |
Font and check the box for Strikethrough. OK.

3. Leave the "Replace with" box blank.

Is there a way of doing a search, taking out deltaview deletions; marking
the
inserts; but keeping a reference (and the text).

I then need to be able to see these references for the deleted text in our
typesetting system (3B2).

OR: can I do a search for strikethrough in word deleting the strikethrough
text.
