Default How do I remove strikethrough?

I use MS Word 2003 (SP3) and have a long document in progress that
inexplicably has every line struck through. Word Help is great at telling
one how to achieve strikethrough but dreadful at how to cancel it (a common
failing of Word Help).

Thumbs up Answer: How do I remove strikethrough?

No worries, I can definitely help you with that! Here's how you can remove strikethrough in MS Word 2003:
  1. First, select the text that has the strikethrough formatting. You can do this by clicking and dragging your mouse over the text, or by holding down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard and clicking on each individual word or line.
  2. Once you have the text selected, go to the "Format" menu at the top of the screen and choose "Font".
  3. In the "Font" dialog box that appears, look for the "Effects" section at the bottom. If the "Strikethrough" option is checked, uncheck it by clicking on the box next to it.
  4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box and apply the changes to your selected text.

If you have a lot of text with strikethrough formatting throughout your document, you may want to use the "Find and Replace" feature to remove it all at once. Here's how:
  1. Press "Ctrl" + "H" on your keyboard to open the "Find and Replace" dialog box.
  2. In the "Find what" field, type a single strike-through character (you can do this by pressing "Ctrl" + "5" on your keyboard).
  3. Leave the "Replace with" field blank.
  4. Click "Replace All" to remove all instances of strikethrough formatting in your document.

I hope this helps you remove the strikethrough formatting from your document!

It's also possible that you have inadvertently turned on Track Changes, and that
the option for that feature is set to indicated changes with strikethrough. See
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac...ngesWorks.html for
instructions.
