How do I strike-out words? Not delete them, but indicate they are crossed out.

The question pretty much says it: I need to indicate a word I'm copying was crossed out without removing it.

    Strikethrough is a font formatting attribute. Select the text then use the button in the Font group on the Home tab of the Ribbon. Strikethrough is right there along with Bold, Italic, & Underline.

    If you do much of it you may prefer to use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Command+X or create a Character Style that includes the attribute.

    You can also go to View > Toolbars > Customize  and actually add strike through and Double Strike through to format or standard toolbar.

    Hi Bob, I'm on Mountain Lion on MacBook Pro.  I've tried what you suggested but I don't find STRIKETHROUGH, etc. at all.  What did I not do right?
