If you use Word software for typing your blog posts look for a symbol in the toolbar that shows abc with a line through it (on mine it's next to the B - for bold, I - for italic, U - for underline symbols. Highlight/ select the text you want to strikethrough and then click the abc symbol. I like to call it magic.Linda Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799429286538446158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152682059853248426.post-39347376345956905882016-10-25T10:17:38.942+01:002016-10-25T10:17:38.942+01:00Well I think you're very clever for knowing ho...Well I think you're very clever for knowing how to tap out a word and put a line through it !

I think it's always a good idea to do something different when you get stuck with the writing to let your sub-conscious get to work.

It's quite good, more of a laugh really.
