and then select a color in the Colors window.

Adding a Strikethrough to Text Using the Font Panel

You can mark text with a strikethrough line, and make the line’s color different from the

text color.

To add a strikethrough to selected text:

1 Click Fonts in the toolbar.

2 Click the Text Strikethrough button (the second button from the left), and choose

None, Single, or Double from the pop-up menu. A single or double strikethrough

appears through the selected text in the same color as the text.

3 To change the strikethrough color, choose Color from the Text Strikethrough pop-up

menu, and then select a color in the Colors window. The strikethrough takes on the

color you select in the Colors window, but the text remains its original color.

Many templates include a strikethrough character style. To display the character styles

defined for your document, click the Character Styles button in the Format Bar. Select

the text you want to strike through, and then choose the strikethrough character style

in the Styles drawer.

Changing Text Color Using the Font Panel

Changes made to text color in the Font panel will override text color changes made in

the Text Inspector, and vice versa. (To read about changing color using the Text

Inspector, see “Changing Text Color” on page 89.)

To modify the color of selected text:

1 Click Fonts in the toolbar.

2 Click the Text Color button menu in the Font panel (the third button from the left), and

then select a color in the Colors window. See “Using the Colors Window” on page 148

for instructions.

Changing the Paragraph Background Color Using the Font Panel

You can use the Font panel to add a color behind a paragraph.

To modify the background color of a selected paragraph:

1 Click Fonts in the toolbar.

2 Click the Document Color button in the Font panel (the fourth button from the left),

and then select a color in the Colors window. See “Using the Colors Window” on

page 148 for instructions.

You can also modify paragraph background color in the Text Inspector, as described in

“Setting Character and Paragraph Fill Colors” on page 104.
