Exam deadline: I need to Cross out words in MS.Word

Exam deadline: I need to Cross out words in MS.Word (not just a line through the word (like this) but an actual X across the word). I am asking because I am writing a paper on Agamben's theory of law of which he writes 'law' where the word is crossed out. PLEASE anyone!?

Hi
only way I can think of doing this would be to go into the formats menu
select shapes
select lines
draw the lines over the word and adjust the colour and weight until it looks right
just tried it out and it works ( takes a bit of trial and error to line it up properly through )
don't think there is an option to adjust the strikethrough format within word
Seems like a lot of hassle. Having not been told what version of Word is involved I can tell you that using the latest version at least there are two options;
1. The first is in the Format>Font menu.
...and the second is in the menu bar, (it's in mine anyway);

    Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
    While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

  • Can you "Cross out" a photo in Indesign CS5?

    Hi all,  I'm working on a user manual and there is a photo in the manual that needs to be swapped/replaced with the correct photo. However, for now, I want to leave the wrong photo in and get to it later--but how do I marked it as WRONG? In other words, is it possibnle to put a red X over it or a way to "cross out" the photo so we know it's wrong and will be replaced later? OK, I can try to add a rectangle frame as a placeholder, is there a way to 'note it' so I remember what I need to do with that rectangle? How do you guys handle placeholders?
    Any tips or methods would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Why not just but a big X over it by drawing a text frame and typing an X?
    I’m not really sure what the problem…or question…is.
    Let's try to find as much ways to do it -- one of them might answer the question!
    2. Two separate crossing lines.
    3. A text frame with a one-cell table, with in that cell the option Diagonal lines set to Crossing lines.

  • White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it?

    Help!!  I'm in Belize (not a good place to be with an Apple, as international as you may claim to be!) and my computer decided to "quit" thusly:
    White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it? (I do have my recently backed up data with me, but no loading discs for my computer.
    Hoping there is a solution,
    Diana

    The make of the disk doesn't really tell us how your data is being backed up onto that disk. Do you know what software it uses?
    For example Time Machine copies files every hour in a way that is not bootable, but you can extract those files & get all your data back into a working OS.
    Carbon Copy Cloner duplicates a disk in a way that is bootable - it would appear when holding alt at startup so you could use that to boot & inspect the state of the internal disk.
    It may also be Seagate's own software that does something different.
    Please try recovery mode, if that works you can try repairing the disk in Disk Utility.
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    If that works, select Disk Utility & see if the internal disk can be repaired in the first aid tab.
    Recovery mode can also download OS X & reinstall it, however you really need to know if the backup contains everything before that is attempted, otherwise you may lose data. The OS is also around 5GB so you may have issues if your internet is capped or unstable etc.
    P.S.
    I have no idea if this is helpful, but there may be help out there…?

  • Track changes-deletions shown in bubbles v. cross out in text

    Is there an option of showing deletions as cross-outs in the text rather than in bubbles on the side (like the option available in Word)?

    mhn,
    When Tracking is On, you have controls at the bottom of the Tool Bar. Every option you could desire is there regarding what is displayed with respect to tracking. See page 70 of the English version of the Pages 09 User Guide PDF.

  • Adobe Acrobat. Change "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, ..." also for highlights made before changing the setting

    I am looking for a solution to apply the "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups" setting to highlights that I made before I changed this setting.
    Someone wrote a batch for this which costs 60 dollar and this seems to do what I am looking for: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Retroactively Copy Highlighted Text into Comments
    Where can I find Adobe's solution for this problem?  I do not want to buy external batches for a professional software suit.
    I expect that this is a common problem for people who start to organize a large literature base with many pdfs and must keep track of highlighted text. I was not previously aware of the "Copy selected..."setting, but I need to change it now for all my pdf files to make them compatible with a reference manager that I want to use. New comments are now compatible, but the hundreds(!) of pdfs that I worked through before are not, so copy pasting the highlighted text into comments is not an option.

    Hi gb145,

  • On the light blue login screen, the apple logo, a crossed out circle, and a ? appear and I can't login. how do I fix it?

    The laptop turns on fine but the apple logo come up flashing the logo, a question mark, and a    crossed out circle. How do I fix this?

    Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk.
    If that didn't help, try here  >  A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    The ? mark on boot can mean several things. One, your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from, hence booting while holding down the Option key, or the startup disk needs repairing.

  • Canon MP780 Color Option, Quality and Media, etc crossed out for SOME apps

    Hi,
    I have a Canon MP 780 attached to an old G4 macbook (running 10.4.11) that I'm using as a print server via printer sharing. I'm sending print jobs from a MBPro 2.4 GHz Core Duo running Snow Leopard (10.6.2)
    Before I updated to Snow Leopard, all the MP 780 printer functions worked perfectly. Now the Color Options, Quality and Media, Duplex Printing, Special Effects, Borderless Printing and Duplex Printing are crossed out for some application, but not for others. For example, I can print in Duplex from Microsoft Word and Pages, but not from Preview or Safari.
    If I do the print job directly from the old MB that's acting as the print server, all the options are available, so this seems to be related to either Snow Leopard or printer sharing.
    I have downloaded and installed all the latest drives/software I could find in the CanonUSA website.
    Any thoughts on how to get these print services up and running for all my applications?
    Thanks!
    Pete

    Hello Pete,
    What you are seeing is a result of using a 32bit driver when using a 64bit application. Preview and Safari are 64bit, while MS Word and Pages are 32bit.
    The solution is to use a driver that is written for 64bit (or more so the plugins used with the driver, such as Quality & Media, are 64bit). However, checking the Canon web site, there does not appear to be a 64bit driver available for your model.
    So, you could look at forcing the 64bit apps, like Preview and Safari, to open in 32bit mode. With the application closed, find its icon in Finder > Application. Select it and perform a Get Info (File > Get Info or Command I). The Info window that appears will have a button that shows 'Open in 32-bit mode'. Tick this checkbox, close the Info window and then open the application. Now you should find that the Canon plugins such as Quality & Media should be available without the line through them.

  • Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

    Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy.  It is a Macbook Pro  osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

    Almost certainly none of the above!  Try each of the following in this order:
    Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
    Close down Safari;  move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
    Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
    Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
              defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

  • Need to find out how to lock a point in a path that will not allow the rest of the path to rotate or move around it

    Hello,
    I am having some trouble with using shape layers and paths to create a solid, flat 'hair' effect in a cartoon animation.
    I have used a semicircle shape layer as the hair on the head itself and then a path with a stroke of the same width as the semi circle to be the long part of the hair.
    Unfortunately when I move/rotate the bottom point in the path it causes gaps to appear further up where the stroke is rotating around the point at which the stroke is supposed to "connect" to the semi circle.
    I have included a couple of screenshots of me rotating the hair opposite ways so you can see.
    - imgur: the simple image sharer
    - imgur: the simple image sharer
    I need to find out if there is a way to lock the top point in place where it joins the semi circle blond hair which will stop this part from moving at all, even rotating around the point.
    But the bottom needs to move freely and obviously the part between the two points will move fairly naturally.
    If you can imagine how a girl with long hair has her hair attached to her head, it does not move at all, but the bottom moves freely. It needs to be like this.
    If you can provide any assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    That is perfect thank you so much!
    Can't believe I didn't think of that but you da real MVP!
