Though I spent two long years of my life in court reporting school, they never told us about this.
One of the first transcripts I did was an NTSB hearing with an administrative law judge. The judge said to strike it, and I actually deleted the text from the transcript.
Fortunately for me, I had the fortitude to ask the folks in the office that morning if what I did was right. The copy room people immediately stopped the processing of my transcript, to allow me to fix it. Of course, this was no easy feat, since it was during the days of typewriters. It would have been an easy fix on a computer. LOL
Yeah, definitely keep that text in the transcript, every single word of it.
