To make a "cross line" through text, you typically use a formatting feature called strikethrough. This adds a horizontal line straight through the center of the selected text, making it appear crossed out.
Steps to Cross Out Text
Based on common word processing applications and the information provided in the reference, here's how you apply this formatting:
- Select Your Text: First, you need to highlight the text that you want to appear crossed out. Use your mouse or keyboard to select the specific words, phrases, or sentences.
- Locate the Strikethrough Option: Look for a button or option that applies the strikethrough effect. According to the reference, this option is typically found at the top of the application window.
- Find it Near Underline: The reference specifically notes that this option is often located right next to the underline button. The icon usually looks like text with a line drawn through it (e.g.,
abc). - Check the Tab: The reference also mentions that the availability of this option depends on which tab you are currently viewing. In applications like Microsoft Word, this formatting option is commonly found on the Home tab.
By following these steps, you can easily apply a cross line through your selected text.
