Users have thus demanded an option that will allow them to manually remove the strikethrough, or even better, allow the list to be formatted so that the checked box will not automatically strikethrough the text associated with it in the first place. There is also no official way to remove the strikethrough for checked boxes in the automatic list feature. This strikethrough, unfortunately, cannot be removed. This makes reading it difficult and also ensures that I can’t add details after the text as I often do.Īs clear from the above, the Checklist feature that allows one to create an interactive checkbox as part of a list in Google Docs has been malfunctioning.Ĭhecking the box causes it to automatically strike through the text associated with the box. The new “feature” of checkboxes automatically line through the text following the checkbox when it is checked. There have been multiple complaints from Google Docs users about a strikethrough issue with the Checklist feature when a box is checked. The above problems may have already been addressed but a new one has now popped up. This has been proven a few times in the past with issues like default templates disappearing, cursor getting stuck, and the “ Your access has expired” error. However, Microsoft Office is still regarded by many as the pioneer of ‘office’ apps and Google’s Docs Editors suite is pretty novel in comparison.Īs such, it may not provide the most polished of editing experiences. These include collaboration that seamlessly allows multiple users to edit and collaborate on a single document in real-time, complete cloud-based functionality, real-time saving, and more. But apart from this tiny shortcoming, the former reigns supreme due to a number of smart features. Sure, Google Docs does not offer the range of editing tools that Microsoft Word does.
