Hi =?Utf-8?B?emVvdGVjaA==?=,

to strikeout a word?

True strikethrough, or more as a "suggestion"?

There's a "strikethrough" font format available - you can see that in the Home
tab.

If more as a proof-reading suggestion, activate "Track changes". Then you can
press DELETE and it should appear as "strike through". Track changes is
controlled through the "Review" tab. You can turn it on, here, and you can
control how deletions and additions appear (the "Options").

Highlight the word, right click mouse, go to font - on the font tab under
effects check strikethrough or double strikethrough.

To add to what Cindy has said, you may want to read the article at

Although it has not been updated for Word 2007, it does explain the general
principles of Track Changes, which have not changed from earlier versions.
