pop-up menu to that category. The pop-up menu will contain the Strikethrough object from 

“A

 and groups it with a Blue Text object you will create. 

The objects in the Editorial category on the Insert bar let users make editorial comments on a file

rest of the text.

Dreamweaver installation folder. Copy the files for the Strikethrough object example you created
