How to Cross Out a Cell in Word 2007

While cells and tables are often associated with Microsoft Excel, however Word 2007 also allows you to work with tables. Crossing out the contents of a cell helps you organize your table without deleting the data contained in the cell. The procedure used to cross out celled content in Word also applies to all other text in Word, so it works when crossing out text that isn't contained in a cell. Microsoft refers to crossing out text within Word as "strikethrough formatting.

Instructions

1. Open your Word document. Highlight the text within the cell that you want to cross out.
2. Navigate to Word's "Home" tab and select the small icon in the lower-right corner of the

"Font" box. Navigate to the "Font" tab within the new window.
3. Click the check box next to "Strikethrough." Click "OK" to cross out the contents of the cell.
