Removing all words with "strikethrough"

Post by Skitterbug »

I wanted to replace all words that have the "strikethrough" format in my word document. I've tried to find a symbol to use with the ^ symbol in the find box but I'm stuck. Is there a simple way to do what I want to do or do I need to go through my document line by line and remove all "strikethrough" words individually?
See pic of example of what I want to remove. Hope I have made sense about the question I am trying to ask. Thanks for any help!

Can you click the Format button on the Find and Replace dialog and then choose Font... and check Strikethrough
