Searcher,

Powerpoint does not do strikethrough. Quite amazing really. It's just trying to be different ;)

Enter your text in Microsoft WORD (including strikethroughs, colored fonts,
etc.) and then copy the text from Word to PowerPoint...
1. Enter the text in MS Word, select it and do a File>Copy
2. Go to PowerPoint and do Edit>*Paste Special* (do NOT use Paste) and
select *Microsoft Word Document Object*

note: This works in PowerPoint2003; not sure if it will work in earlier
versions.

update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that you are looking for,

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide additional font formatting capabilities (strike-through, double
underline, etc.), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
