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

It's not a nonsense - it's needed for legal pleadings when highlighting amended statements of claim (with strikethoughs marked in red).

Tony, I tend to believe you are wrong. The fact that it seems useless to you, doesn't mean it will be useless to others.

A simple reason, is that some corrections needs to be noted out to other users. Track changes do it well, but there is a problem; not all users know how to handle Track Changes. Perhaps we should abandon user friendliness for progression, but it can't be decided in a "hip of your mind", if you get what I mean.

Crossing something out electronically is a nonsense; period.

This is my favorite kind of "non-response:"  to assume that the poster has no reason for wanting to accomplish a certain goal, just because YOU don't understand their motives. 

I myself was searching for this exact question, because - - not that it matters - - I wanted to be able to SHOW the corrections in a legal document that were attributed to various editors.  In this case, the previous editor had changed something; hence, their comments were red.  However, I noticed that (for whatever reason, and I didn't care to ask) they had NOT actually made any changes, so MY edit was to cross out THEIR edit.  So - - and this is why I needed to know this - - MY edits are supposed to be in BLUE. So I needed THEIR text to be RED, and MY strikeout to be BLUE.

There's no accounting for the accounting/legal world, but this stuff must be followed for legal reasons.  And what's "ridiculous" is to tell me that I have to go through hard copy printouts of these document and laboriously strike through them with blue ink, because you happen to think (erroneously, as it turns out) that "crossing something out electronically is a nonsense; period."

In future, let's just assume that the poster is NOT an idiot who's trying to waste your time.  If you don't want to help him or her, then don't.  You don't need to question their methods or motives.  I've searched through tons of questions on various subjects online, and wading through a myriad of answers that contain NOTHING more constructive than "Why would you want to do that?" or "That ridiculous to want to do that" gets really old sometimes….

Hello Anthony B,

As I mentioned in my previous message, which you even admit in your message, "Shapes" can move.

Therefore using "Shapes" is unacceptable.
