How to auto strikethrough canceled meetings in Outlook?
When you use the Outlook calendar to manage your meetings, you may run into a situation where organizers cancel the meetings, and you don’t want to remove the canceled meetings from the calendar. Instead, you prefer to auto strikethrough the canceled meetings to make them stand out. This tutorial will show you how to auto strikethrough canceled meetings in Outlook.
Note: Here we take "Microsoft Outlook 365" as an example. The steps and descriptions may vary slightly in other Outlook versions.

6. In the "Conditional Formatting" dialog box, click "Add" to create a new rule. Input a name such as "Canceled meeting" in the "Name" box.
7. Click the "Font" option in the "Properties of selected rule" section. In the "Font" dialog box, check the "Strikeout" checkbox under "Effects", then click "OK".
8. Back in the "Conditional Formatting" dialog box, you can preview the effect of the strikeout.
9. Then click the "Condition" button in the "Properties of selected rule" section. In the "Filter" dialog box, type "canceled" in the "Search for the word(s)" box. Click "OK" > "OK" > "OK" to finish setting up the rule.
