Apply strikethrough formatting to a table cell (Word 2001/2000/2002)
If you work with tables that store real estate listings, inventory lists, order forms, or similar types of lists, you may often need to indicate that the contents of cell are no longer relevant or available. You could simply delete the contents of the cell, but then readers would have no way of knowing what information formerly occupied it.
An effective way to indicate that something is no longer available (without actually deleting it) is to apply strikethrough formatting. You can apply strikethrough formatting to individual characters by choosing Format | Font from the menu bar, selecting the Strikethrough or Double Strikethrough check box, and then clicking OK. However, if you want to apply a strikethrough to the contents of an entire table cell, there's a much more effective alternative--just apply a strikethrough border to the cell. To do so, select the cell and then choose Format | Borders And Shading from the menu bar. Click on the Borders tab, and then choose Cell from the Apply To dropdown list. Next, choose the desired Style, Color, and Width settings you'd like your strikethrough to use. Finally, click the Descending Diagonal or Ascending Diagonal icon (or click both to create a cross out), and then click OK.
