Strikethrough font?

[Robert Weien]

Hi,

I really need to use a strikethrough font in PowerPoint v.X. Any way to do
it?

Thanks in advance!

Robert,

Excuse me if this answer is -useless- (as I'm not a mac user), but on a
windows PC, one workaround it to type the text into another application,
that does support strikethrough, then paste the text into powerpoint.
Cumbersome I know

Thanks for the reply, but I tried that with my windows machine at work:
cut-and-paste of struckthrough text from a Word document loses the
strikethrough in Powerpoint.

Any other ideas?

In Windows PPT, it works if you use Edit, Paste Special, as MS Word Object, as
Enhanced Metafile and maybe as Windows Metafile.

That doesn't leave you with editable text, but you can ungroup a couple times
to get there (editable text + a line). 'Course, if you edit the text and the
width changes, the strikethrough line no longer matches up.

Probably better to doubleclick the object and edit it in Word.

Yeah - sometimes it does & sometimes it doesn't Try avoiding the selection
of the ¶ when you select the text, but even then there's no guarantee. The
only thing I've found to work consistently is to *draw* a strikethrough with
the Line tool... a royal PITA if you need to do much of it.
