Red Strikethrough

This is probably a very strange request, but I need to be able to do
large paragraphs of "strikethrough" while, at the same time changing it
to the color red. Is is possible to combine the two and assign to a
single keystroke? In other words, I need a red strikethrough that will
change my text red at the same time, but leave the remaining text
black! I need help as soon as possible. Thanks to the magician who
can tell me how to do this.

Word 2003. Select first paragraph. Then pick Format, Font, Apply the red
and strikethrough. Then pick Format, Styles and Formatting and then
scroll down the the Red, Strikethrough. Select the next paragraph and apply.

If you want to use Tracked Changes then you can strike through text
automatically just by using the delete key.

For this:
- Go to Tools/Options/Track Changes
- Change the color for Deletions from "By Author" to red
- If you do not want insertions to be visually specified then change
Insertions to "(None) and the color to Black
- Click OK to close the dialog
- Go to Tools/Track Changes to turn on Track Changes

At this point none of your edits will be permanent, instead your
revisions will be tracked. To make the revisions permanent, use the
Reviewing toolbar and the Accept/Reject commands. For more on how to
use Track Changes take a look at this list of articles:
