Strike through

(36 Posts)

I know I 'm thick but I can't work out how to do the 'strikethrough' when I'm writing. I think it's really good for subtly saying what you really mean but I can't find that little hyphen thingy that goes before and after the word on my keyboard. I use an ipad, is it a different keyboard to others?

Thanks

just trying
I didn't realise they were 2 normal hyphens!
Thanks for your help everyone and didn't realise I would cause a stir, I think they are amusing.

Oh dear, is it post Christmas blues or something? There seems to be an awful lot of bellyaching about not very much fussing over nothing today.

testing, well, what do you know? 18 months I have been trying to do this, oh dear, no hope.

It's easy when you use a bit of gumption know how wink

Since I downloaded the latest Apple update to the iPad the double hyphen doesn’t work as a strike through. So now I get —strikethrough— It did work before. I wonder if the technical people may have an answer? Anyone else have this issue or is the Apple oddity just impacting me?

I have the same problem since updating, corner - it’s very annoying. I’m getting fed up with Apple.

Same here can’t get —strikethrough— in iPad ?

Me neither. Used to be ok but since the update it appears as others have displayed. The hyphens seem to run together.

It must be my eyes (which are useless at the best of times!) but once I've seen something with the lines through it I keep seeing them - I can see them now which mixed in with the blind spot I have in one eye is most disconcerting grin
