How to add `strikethrough` to ribbon in Outlook












12















I've right clicked the ribbon (under bold italic underline for what it's worth) and went to customize the ribbon but strike-through is not available to add to the ribbon. ...dead end?

  • Why would this need an update for 2016? Ask a new question for 2016 since it's significantly different

  • @Peltier, my answer works for both Office 2010 and 2016. I added a screenshot for Outlook 2016 showing it has the strikethrough button.

  • @druciferre: this works when you have a separate window for composing an email. But not when editing from the main window. Is there a way to do so from the main window? If not could you add this precision to your answer?

I just moved the Font and Paragraph groups from the Format Text tab over to the Message tab and removed the Basic Text group using Customize the Ribbon. Here's the result:

  • Okay, I figured out what this meant. When you click "Customize Ribbon," you can expand the tabs on the right hand side, and drag groups from one to the other. Even though the contents of the default groups are not editable, you can still move them to a new tab.

By default it's in the format text tab on the ribbon above font.



If you want it on the message tab go to Customize ribbon → Main tabs → New mail message and Create new group. From all commands on the left select strikethrough and add it to the new group.

    The reason this remains such an utter mystery, and so incomprehensibly complicated, is that apparently no one in this group understands the difference between showing how you did it (the reason we are here), and telling us that you did (of no value).
