You don't need strike out. Just select the unwanted bits of a previous post and delete. It is easy to misquote the original and place a completely different slant on the original. :lol: :lol: :lol: Good fun.

I think there's an option - at least on the CF there is - to highlight the selected word/s then click on a button &... voila.

I like it.

If you go to "Full Editor & Preview & then look just above where you write your post you'll see the "S" Chuck.

Ummm....... Annie only dragged Lance-a-little by the ear and dragged him off to bed leaving Wayno and myself to finish sorting the worlds problems.

The alternative to the strike out is deleting the bit you want to change and adding in your version in a different colour, all within the quote, like the one above. Now the whole thing changes as to who the two that were slinking away and what word replaces the ?? ;) :lol:

Hey! I wondered what that 's' was for! Possibly '$#it', I thought?
I've always used the 'delete and ...' method, or highlighted & coloured the interesting text. Now there's another way to play! :D

And I thought you were always careful, Deb! Dottie is... (though you'd never realise it... :P )

You got that right Ray. Old teaching habits don't change either! I just cannot accept poor spelling or typos,in my own posts. SO I will attempt to keep up the standard.
