How do you do strikethroughs for a whole sentence of words - or do you have to strikethrough the words individually

I saw on a thread where someone did a strikethrough of loads of words - just wondered if you had to do each word individually (which takes ages) or if you can do a whole load of words all at once.

Oh - get me! I can do it! I am quite the tech-genius!

I thought I'd tried this and it didn't work.

oldsilverbullet · 10/10/2011 22:23

MNHQ obviously didn't know you could do whole sentences cause Justine just did the individual words on that button thread Grin

I've only been here obsessed for 3 years and i still remember the shame of my first strikethrough failure. i was told i had to do each word, I'm sure. Hmm

RebeccaMumsnet knows how. She showed me but I've forgotten
