Strikethroughs...
All I can help with is strikethroughs.
If the word to be stricken is already typed, you can highlight it, right-click, and click on the FONT option that comes up in the menu.
In Word 97 (I know I'm backward) this brings up a menu with three tabs. In the first (main) one, in about the middle of the window there appears an effects menu, including strikethrough, double strikethrough, superscript, subscript, and then "pretty" stuff like outline, emboss, engrave.... blah blah blah.
Um. I couldn't tell you how to do the little insert thingy unless you did the {shift - 6} ^ symbol with a superscript.
But then again, I'm a totally random trivia whiz too.

Two methods occur to me.
The first is choose "strike through" type in the fonts dialog (like bold, superscript, small caps, etc.)
More sophisticated, but what you may really want, is document revision history/change tracking. You can edit a document with change tracking turned on and say how your additions and deletions are to be marked (color, type face including strike-through) and displayed (deletions visible or invisible).
If you have two similar documents (one a revision of the other) then try starting with "track changes"/"compare documents".

In Word 97, go to "Tools" then "Track Changes" then "Highlight Changes," it gives you an option of seeing it onscreen or in the printed document.
Hope this helps.

There is also an "options Button" that will allow you to configure how changed text and deleted text are displayed. The default for deleted text is red with strike-through, but you can change that to whatever works best for you.
Also, go to the View/Toolbars menu and turn on the Reviewing Tools toolbar to helpyou naviagate through the changes and comments.
Reading the Help topic on the reviewing tools will actually "help" -- unlike many other MS help topics.
