To strikethrough text in Google Docs, you have several options: Using the Menu:

  1. Highlight the text you want to strikethrough.
  2. Click on the Format menu at the top.
  3. Hover over Text.
  4. 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):

  1. Highlight the text.
  2. Tap the Text menu that appears.
  3. 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
