The term 'Overstriking' dates from manual typing days, where you'd type,
backspace and type again. The only way I know to do it in Excel is to use two
textboxes, remove fill and line and type a different character in box. Use
Draw: 'Align or Distribute' to place the boxes on top of each other. Then
use Draw: 'Group' to tie the textboxes together.
Cumbersome, but if that's what you want....

I don't mean "strikethrough". I mean to have a character typed on top of
another character so that they are combined into one. In MS word it's
referred to as overstriking.

Select the cell in question (or, within the cell, the text you wish to
strikethrough).

Select Format, Cells. Check the "Strikethrough" check box. Hit Okay.
