bandit, fantastic, I did not trick you!- I like how you lined out the word, how does one doe that using a PC keyboard, regards - Floridafisherman, Sep 13, 2012
You use formatting tags. The one you are referring to is called the strikethrough tags. The beginning tag looks like < s > (without spaces) and the ending tag < /s > (without spaces). Let me know if it works for you! Just remember no spaces. - bandit51jd, Sep 13, 2012
