      Friends,

       

      I am looking for a way to use the keyboard shortcuts to make highlighted text strikethrough inside the form fields. I have enabled the form fields to "Rich Text" and strikethrough text can be pasted into the form field as strikethrough, but I would like a more user friendly method such as a shortcut. Any suggestions? The shortcuts for Bold, Italics and Underline all work in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. CTRL + B, CTRL + I, CTRL + U.

           I tried setting the shortcut for strikethrough to ALT + SHIFT + S as this link suggested in Word. Still the shortcut didn't work in Adobe Acrobat.

      I'm using MS Windows XP and Adobe Acrobat X Pro.Thanks.

          Strikethrough and others (i.e. Bold, Italics) can be found in the Adobe Acrobat X Pro by selecting CTRL + E to bring up (See attached screen shot) the "Form Field Text Properties" bar.

           

          Or under the "View">"Show/Hide">"Toolbar Items">"Properties Bar".

           

          Furthermore Italics, Bold, Underline, Superscript and Subscript and be found by highlighting the text in a form field clicking on the right mouse button and selecting "Text Style".

           

          If anyone knows how to add the "Form Field Text Properties" bar to my standard tool bar so the option are always available when I open Acrobat please let me know.
