To strikethrough text in Google Docs, you have several options: Using the Menu:
- Highlight the text you want to strikethrough.
- Click on the Format menu at the top.
- Hover over Text.
- Click Strikethrough from the submenu.
The selected text will then have a line through it
Using Keyboard Shortcuts:
- On Windows or PC: Highlight the text and press Alt + Shift + 5.
- On Mac: Highlight the text and press Command (⌘) + Shift + X.
This instantly applies or removes strikethrough formatting
On Mobile (Google Docs app for Android or iOS):
- Highlight the text.
- Tap the Text menu that appears.
- Tap the strikethrough icon (an "S" with a line through it).
The formatting applies immediately
These methods allow you to visually cross out text without deleting it, useful for edits, to-do lists, or marking completed items
