How do I change the color of Strikethrough without changing the color of the text?

Very good reply Ray333. It's always wise to avoid being baited into a conflict with those whose arrogance drives them to attack the questioner when they don't have an answer to the question. Ironically, however, it also reveals their lack of critical thinking ability. I have the question also, and could think of several other reasons why individuals in different professions or educations would find it useful to do so. If you're still interested, or for others who will undoubtedly have the question in the future, I found a couple websites that may be helpful. For a work around it Word <http://word.tips.net/T000344_Changing_Strikethrough_Lines.html> promises to show a work around. The video at <www.youtube.com/watch?v=taUBkX0MzoU>  shows it done in another program I'm not familiar with, but even offers a valid use of the action that I didn't think of, which even your attacker may find interesting.

Someone may have suggested this already, but you can always post a suggestion for future versions of Word here: http://word.uservoice.com.

Indeed, I was not suggesting that there was not enough detail in your original question, just that there could be reasons for asking, "Why do you want to do that?" You actually don't answer that question, however. ShipmanPrepress does explain exactly why he needs to do the exact thing you're asking about, and his explanation makes it clear that no substitute method will serve since a blue strikethrough on red text is an absolute requirement of the job he is doing. Unfortunately, Word does not provide a built-in way to achieve this, so it will be necessary to use either the overstrike method described in my article at http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/Overbar.htm (an alternative to struck-through spaces would be a raised colored underline) or by using drawing lines, neither of which is really practical for heavy use.
