How can I put a dashed line through text in Microsoft Word?
Q You recently explained how to disable Microsoft Word's overtype mode.However, I have a different type of overtyping request: I have to edit documents from others and have a need to strike out certain words with a dashed line.
The idea is that the original word would remain in place but struck out, with my suggested replacement alongside. This would allow the original author to see both words and choose which one he or she wishes to use. Is this possible? I'm using Word 2003.

A What you want to achieve is easy in Word. First, click and drag to select the relevant word or text passage. Now right-click and click Font on the pop-up menu.
In the Font dialogue box, click to place a tick in the Strikethrough box and then click OK. To remove a strikethrough from some text, just reverse this process.
However, if dealing with large numbers of revisions on a regular basis, then this would be an inefficient way to proceed.
Instead, take a look at Word's built-in reviewing tools. To enable them in Word 2003, open the Tools menu and choose Track Changes. Notice that the TRK legend in the status bar at the bottom of the Word window is no longer greyed out: this means Word is now tracking any changes made to the document.
To further explore how this feature works, click View, point to Toolbars and then click to enable the Reviewing toolbar.
Now use the dropdown menu on the left-hand side of the Reviewing toolbar to switch between the original document and the final version, with your changes in place.
