No strikethrough text

This GreenLight check looks for strikethrough text — text that is styled with the strikethrough attribute inside the InDesign document, and will appear on the page.

Strikethrough text is typically used whilst the text of a document is being edited, often to indicate that it should be deleted or is 'placeholder' text, and is not expected in the final output.

The GreenLight check will take you to the location on the page where strikethrough text can be found and highlight it.

Fix strikethrough text issues by either removing the strikethrough or deleting the strikethrough text. To remove the formatting, highlight the text, choose InDesign Window menu > Control and click the Strikethrough button:

You can also choose InDesign Window menu > Type & Tables > Character and press its panel menu to access Strikethrough.

Note: this check will not flag deleted text that is marked as strikethrough text in the Story Editor when the Track Changes feature is used.
