Default Publisher 2003 Question

MS Publisher News Group

Hi:

I am trying to use strike through formatting on some test and there
seems to be no option. I checked MS site and nada. I opened Word 2003
typed in some test and formatted it with strike through. Tried pasting
in pub and the strike through disappeared. How can two MS appications
from the same suite same vintage not have the same font handling
capabilities??

Bizarre?

Thanks

Best regards

Publisher is not Word. This is one area that proves that. Publisher doesn't
have a strikethrough feature. You would have to draw a line and then group
it with the text box.

Hi:

Thanks. I thought it might have been hidden somewhere until pasting
and the strike through disappeared.

Making a line is what I ended up doing. However, Publisher certainly
should have the strike through feature available. I can see no rational
reason why not.

Join the crowd. I just think of all of the things I *can* do with Publisher
that Word can't do or doesn't do as well. ;-)

===================================
As an old guy who can remember the scissors
and paper cement days of cutting and pasting
pictures, clip art, typed text, and anything else
we could think of...to try and make a newsletter
or catalog...I think MS Publisher is quite special.

The first version I bought was 2.0...it came on
five 1.44 MB floppy disks. How's that for a *huge*
program?
