Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / September 2007Strikethrough font?
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 :( Cheers TAJ Simmons microsoft powerpoint mvp awesome - powerpoint backgrounds, http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com free powerpoint templates, tutorials, hints, tips and more... > Hi, > > I really need to use a strikethrough font in PowerPoint v.X.

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? 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.

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. ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ > > > 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, [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ Its powerpoint .. just draw a line across the text! |
