Outlook 2003 strikeout not working

I have Outlook Express 2003. In Outlook email, in the tasks section, I want to use strikeout on my tasks but I cannot work out how I did this previously. The help section suggests to go into format then fonts, but when you get to font this is not highlighted

I assume you mean Outlook 2003. Outlook Express is a different product that doesn’t support task or calendar functions.

The strikeout function is hidden away in the customize view function. To access this, open Outlook, go to Task then click the View menu, select Arrange by, Current View, make sure Simple or Detailed List is the selected view then click Customize Current View.

Once in the customize view, choose Automatic Fonts, Automatic Formatting, highlight Completed and Read Tasks and click the Font button.

All the font options, including strikeout and changing colours are available there. You can change whichever settings you like and click okay to return to Outlook.
