What program are you using?

I'm gonna take a guess and suggest you look at Font and select
Strike-through

Isn't this a FrontPage forum? Why do you have to guess? :)

You can use this HTML:

<s>$59.99</s>

but it's deprecated (the W3C says to stop using it).

A better way would be to put this in your style sheet:

..strikethrough {
text-decoration: line-through
}

and apply that class to each price using a <span>:

<span class="strikethrough">$59.99</span>

Because the OP didn't specify what program they were asking about.

There are questions asked constantly in this FP newsgroup that *don't*
pertain to FP.

Of course - but I doubt very much that people who use GoLive or Dreamweaver
or Notepad come to a FrontPage forum to ask simple text formatting
questions. :) That was my point.

Answers can also depend on the version of FP being used.

In Format > Fonts use "Strike Through".

What does this have to do with Frontpage?

It sounds like you're using Publisher to produce print advertising (??).

The OP is producing "signs" which I take to mean printed (on paper) signs -
they don't mention anything about online publications.

OK; but something as simple as a font/format question - the answer is
standard to all versions of FP and to many other applications eg MS Office
and others.

Format > Font > Strikethrough.

If you want it to show up in the FP styles dropdown you need to use

span.strikethough {
text-decoration: line-through
}

In your stylesheet. I know it is a kludge but FP won't add a span unless you
write it like that in the stylesheet.
