WD: Strikethrough Text Not Removed When Accepting Revisions
This article was previously published under Q145211
The Accept Revisions option (for Microsoft Word 2.x-7.x) or the Accept or
Reject Changes from Track Changes (on the Tools menu of Microsoft Word 97)
does not remove strikethrough formatted text in documents converted from
WordPerfect 5.x or WordPerfect 6.x.
Text marked in WordPerfect documents as "Strikeout" is converted to
strikethrough character formatting by all versions of Word for Windows.
This strikethrough text is not recognized as "deleted text" by the Revision
or Track Changes features of Microsoft Word.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
To remove strikethrough text in a converted WordPerfect document:
- On the Edit menu, click Replace.
- Place the insertion point in the Find What box.
- Click the Format button, click Font, select the Strikethrough check box,
and then click OK.
- Place the insertion point in the Replace With box.
- Click the Format button, click Font, clear the Strikethrough check box,
and then click OK.
- Click Replace All or Find Next.
- Click Close.
Certain documents use the Strikethrough format for other purposes than
to mark text for deletion by the Revisions or Track Changes function. For
example, in WordPerfect, there is no difference between text that has been
formatted as Strikeout using the Compare Screen and Disk Documents
function and text that has been manually formatted as Strikeout. Since the
Strikethrough format can be used for other purposes in other applications,
the Revisions or Track Changes function does not designate this text as
"deleted text".

and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be

edits), please consult a professional.
