I am using the "Notes" application to make lists for packing and I would like to be able to cross out items as I put them in the car. I am wondering if I can use the "strikethrough" text or if I should figure out a different method. Thanks!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), 13 inch
Make your strikethrough a simple keystroke:
1. Create a word with a strikethrough using Format->Font->Show Fonts to bring up the font inspector as Marko said. Highlight a word and apply the desired strikethrough.
2. Next, using the highlighted word you used the strikethough on..... Select Format->Font->Copy Style (option-command-C)
3. Apply your strikethrough as often and wherever you want to using the simple keystroke (option-command-V)
Note: This doesn't preclude you from copying and pasting text too and from the clipboard at will.
The Style will remain in the clipboard until you. Any text you copy paste can be changed without interfering with the style.
sidenote: not sure if the style will stay if you close notes, but I always have mine open so strikethrough is always available by keystroke. No more surfing through menus every time.
I can even apply strikethough to other text such as in stickies after copying the style!!! Haven't tested it with all apps however.

That's awesome! Option-Command-C and Option-Command-V.
Works great for the Notes app, as I've been starting to use it as a To Do list.
Thanks!
You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
Thanks, but I cannot get the new style "Strikethrough" to save. I'll keep trying.
TextEdit does not give me the option to use the strikethrough style. I can do it in MS Word though.
Strikethrough in Notes?
