I'm hoping that this is a very simple answer, but I can't seem to find a forum post or a YouTube video explaning it and can't find it in the tool. I simply want to create text with a strikethrough.
This tools doesn't have the option of doing it but imagine a sentence and then a line drawn through it. MS word has this option.

Hi badnewzbarnes -

You could do it with a PiP object overlaying the text, but I don't think you'd be able to get a strikethrough effect just in title designer (unless you just wanted the line to fade in).

Here's a quick PiP Object I just made that might work for you.

You'll see how it works in the attached project. If you don't like the yellow, just use fix/enhance to change it.

Cheers - Tony

Hi,

There are strikethrough fonts around which can be installed, but whether they are to your taste ..........?

Google may be your friend!

Thanks for the help folks.
I did find a few fonts online that were able to give me what I was looking for.
