This is so simple but I can't find a solution. If I have a list of
tasks with + in front, when done I can put a + at the end which
crosses them out, making it very easy to see what I have left to
do. Except, sometimes the preceding task inherits the crossing out
too, even though it does not have a + at the end, so how can I stop
the inheritance please?
Sharon.

I seem to remember that Carsten doesn't like strike through faces. Maybe
it's his secret plot to stop people using them:)
On a more constructive note. Why don't you just make them TODO's and
then mark them DONE in the usual way. You should be able to customize
the DONE face to a strike through one.
Ian.

I've just converted them from TODOS, and this task-list seemed a
simpler and easier idea, but I'll try check-boxes like Nick
suggested.

I'd suggest this too: also try C-u C-c C-c on top of a list with no
checkbox to add checkboxes to all items in this list.

Yes, that worked, once I'd deleted all the +'s and replaced with
-'s. Thanks.
Sharon.
