How do I insert a strike-through effect using VBScript on SSRS

Hello,

I'm currently working on a SSRS report and, for governmental reasons, we need to have a block of text that following the logic below:

We declare that we are exporting the product 1 of type A - product 2 of type A - product 2 of type B.

The catch here is that only one of the 3 can be sent each time and the other 2 must have a strikethrough effect.

Example:
We declare that we are exporting the ~~product 1 of type A~~ - product 2 of type A - ~~product 2 of type B~~.

I'm still researching it on MSDN and forums, but if anyone could lend a help I would appreciate it.

BTW: I was requested to keep the report formated as "plain text" instead of html tags, which makes the strike tag a no option.

Regards

After a very long research on MSDN, I've found the answer at a proper place (codeProject)... Which should have actually been the first place to look :P

Based on "change font style in ssrs for some values" + trial and error I've performed the following steps:
1) Selected the desired part of the text.
2) Right clicked and choosing properties
3) Font
4) Expression button from effects
5) Applied =IIF(Fields!TT_ID.Value = 1, "Default", "LineThrough")
