In 2023,Poinbank there isn’t much we can’t do online. We can pay our bills virtually, chat with friends over social media and work remotely. We can even make a task list on our computers or phones.
If you’re ditching the paper to-do’s in favor of a Google Docs planner, there are some tips you can use to make assignments a bit more visually appealing.
Here’s how to digitally cross off your tasks, plus a few more Google Docs tips and tricks to implement into your digital workspace.
How to strikethrough in Google Docs
A strikethrough is as it sounds – a digital slash through your text. It can be useful for task lists or adding edits to papers. Here’s what a strikethrough looks like.
You only need to make a few clicks to access this feature on Google Docs:
- Highlight the text you want to cross out
- Select “Format” from the top menu
- Choose the first item on the dropdown menu: “Text”
- Select “Strikethrough”
Another, hassle-free approach to strikethrough is to find it by searching in the “Help” option in the top left-hand menu. Highlight your text first, and then you should only have to type a few letters of the word “strikethrough” before the option comes up.
What is the shortcut for strikethrough in Google Docs?
You can also use a keyboard shortcut to strike your text. To do this, highlight the text you want to cross out and simultaneously press Alt+Shift+5 on your keyboard.
To undo a strikethrough, hit the same combination of keys again or “undo” the action.
How to insert a checkbox in Google Docs
If you want the satisfying press of a checkbox for your to-do list, try the checklist function in Google Docs. Checklist operates similarly to a bullet-pointed list but allows you to check and cross off the items.
To insert a checkbox list, select the “Checklist” option on the second toolbar menu. You’ll find this function nestled between the “Line & paragraph spacing” and traditional bullet point options. There’s also a dropdown menu that allows you to choose how you check off an item – with a checkmark and a strikethrough or just a checkmark.
To insert a checkbox with a keyboard shortcut, press Ctrl+Shift+9.
