Hi Leeora

Thanks again for your question

I have discussed the matter further with my colleagues and I can confirm that project doesn't support the strikethrough property.

As you clearly require some strong visual indication when a task is deleted, I would suggest creating a flag field with graphical indicators

A flag field is simply a column in your Gantt chart the content of which is "yes" or "no". In this case you would want the column header to say "deleted?" and then you could answer yes or no to each task. You could then replace "yes" or "no" with a graphic, for example a cross or a tick.

The procedure is as follows

First create your flag field

1. Click on Tools-Customise-Fields
2. In the type combo box select Flag
3. Click on Flag1 in the resulting list
4. Click the rename button and call it "Deleted"
5. Then click on the graphical indicators button
6 In the first row of the resulting table; Under "Test For Deleted" type equals, Under "Value" type true and under image select a red cross
7 In the second row repeat the above with value being "no" and the image being a tick
8 Click OK
9 Then Click OK again

You have now created a flag field

Now you need to insert into your Gantt chart

1. Right click on the head of the duration column in your Gantt chart
2. In the context menu select insert column
3. From the field list choose "Deleted" (Flag 1)

Your column is now inserted and you can mark tasks accordingly

Hope this is useful. If this is not appropriate please let me know and we can look at other options.

Regards

Stephen
