Inserting lines through words (Strikethrough?)

How do you insert a horizontal line through a word? I remember once finding a way, but I've forgotten how I did it. I have been seeing soliutions using Word or other word processing programs, but it seems to me that the solution I found was much simplier and easier to use, like using FORMAT. I'm not interested in short-cut methods using keyboard combinations`. I never use them because I find that they're impossible to remember.

And for those of you wanting to put a red line through black text in HTML, here is the result. If you try this in the Apple Support Community, it will get set to black strike.

<p>This is a simple test of <strike style="color:red;"><span style="color:black;">line-through</span></strike> in a word using a black span nested inside a red strike.</p>
<p>And, this is another <span style="color:red;text-decoration:line-through"><span style="color:black">line-through</span></span> example using a black span nested within a red, line-through span.</p>

I FOUND IT. It's in the place where I thought it should be: FORMAT>FONTS. I just didn't recognize the final step. So, the path to "strikethrough" is FORMAT>FONTS>Little icon (Capital letter T with line through it). Oh, I guess I should mention that you have to highlight the word through which you want the line drawn.
