Strike through still not working

(55 Posts)

I know there has been a thread about this before, but I couldn't find it.
I still cant get the strikethrough to work by using the double dashes/ hyphens (--) , although one of our GN’s did have a solution, which I used today.

Was there ever a fix, or is it just me?

Thanks Auntieflo,I can now make it work on my iPhone, funny how I've never had a problem with the Kindle fire.

Nope, obviously not!

Very clear instructions thank you ?

Auntieflo Sun 04-Aug-19 20:37:20

You’re welcome.
I’m surprised I remembered how to do it, and, more to the point that you understood my instructions.

Thanks auntieflo. Bit of a kerfuffle but it does work. Thank you

testing oh yes that works

It used to work on my iPad but since updating it has stopped very annoying. —see not working—

SirChenjin, you have to insert a -, then go back and insert another in front of it, type the word you wish to strikethrough, then a couple of spaces, type -, go back and insert another in front if it. IYSWIM

It is a pain, trying to get to the correct place. pain.
I think this was the fix given by another GN in the earlier thread, and I apologise for not being able to give her the credit.

Nope ?

It doesn’t work on iPhone or iPad .

MiniMoon Sun 04-Aug-19 18:12:37

Ah, yes, but I seldom use the function.

MiniMoon Sun 04-Aug-19 18:12:00

Is it working on the Kindle fire tablet I wonder?

(iPad)

I tried it earlier on iPad and it didn’t work, perhaps it will on laptop? What’s the work around Blue belle?

cornergran Sun 04-Aug-19 17:03:05

Gave up with the iPad. Thought it was just me. ?

BlueBelle Sun 04-Aug-19 16:43:45

I always have to go the roundabout way and even then it doesn’t seem foolproof

SirChenjin Sun 04-Aug-19 16:38:36

Auntieflo what was the solution you used?

Nico97 Sun 04-Aug-19 16:35:50

Test working grin

Auntieflo Sun 04-Aug-19 16:35:02

Thanks, I am on my IPad, and had to go a roundabout way of doing it, as if I use two hyphens together, they just merge.

Namsnanny Sun 04-Aug-19 16:33:17

Well, on my laptop anyway.

Namsnanny Sun 04-Aug-19 16:32:08

I had a problem too Auntieflo, but I tried it out today and it seems to be working now
