[Athen] Strikethrough formatting in MS Word and PDF?

[Sean Keegan]

Hello all,

I was asked about the capabilities of screen-readers communicating the
Strikethrough formatting in MS Word and PDF documents.


>From my testing, I was not able to get either JAWS or NVDA to recognize and

communicate the text content that had a Strikethrough effect. I was using
recent versions of JAWS, NVDA, and Microsoft Word 365.

Has anyone been able to get JAWS or NVDA to recognize the Strikethrough
formatting in MS Word (or PDF) documents?

I found a nice solution for HTML-based content from Adrian Roselli (see
https://codepen.io/aardrian/pen/bYJrWe), but HTML is not an output option
at this time.

Thanks for any feedback.

Take care,
Sean
