Need to show edits without deleting? Want to visually indicate completion? Mastering the art of crossing out text in Google Docs is a handy skill for collaboration and document organization.
Google Docs offers a simple, built-in strikethrough feature. Here's how to use it:
1. **Highlight the Text:** Select the portion of text you want to cross out.
2. **Access the Format Menu:** Go to the 'Format' menu in the toolbar.
3. **Choose 'Text':** Hover over the 'Text' option in the dropdown.
4. **Click 'Strikethrough':** Select 'Strikethrough' from the submenu. Boom! Your text is now crossed out.
Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut: **Alt + Shift + 5** (Windows) or **⌘ + Shift + X** (Mac).
Crossing out text is perfect for marking completed tasks in a to-do list, showing edits in a collaborative document, or indicating retracted statements in a draft. Now go forth and strike through with confidence!
