Cannot get a handle on 'strikethrough'

When I search for strikethrough, the hits I get say ‘context menu → style-> strikethough’. Unfortunately, there is no item for Style on my context menu when I am editing some text. So, I can’t make it work.
I get strikethrough when I delete something in ‘record changes’ mode. Alas, the way I set it up ages ago - and I can’t even remember how - it also changes the text colour.
I also found another help article that says if you type something in, with a -(minus) before and after, you will get strikethough. Doesn’t work for me!
I’ve been pulling my hair out over this for months on occasion when I tried to dig down into this issue …
We have control-I and control-B but nothing for strikethrough?

Choose Tools - Customize - Keyboard tab

In field Functions type `strike’ - it will select command Strikethrough

Choose Shortcut key what you like (for example, Alt+Shift+S)

Click Modify and OK

Select any word and try to press Alt+Shift+S
