Word XP

Using Undo - Ctrl + Z

Have you made a mistake in your document and needed to go back and make changes, but you thought it was too late? Good news! Word offers a feature that helps prevent this from happening.

The Undo command lets you "undo" or delete the last change made to your document. As you can imagine, this is a very useful feature. If you make a change or mistake that you do not want or did not mean to do, you can simply "undo" your action.

Word remembers up to 300 actions in a document and allows you to undo any or all of them as long as you haven't closed the document first.

To Use Undo:

• Click Edit on the menu bar.
• Select Undo - this command will change names depending on the action you just took. If you accidentally deleted a sentence, it says Undo Clear.
• Press Ctrl + Z on your keyboard for a shortcut to Undo.

OR

• Undo all your recent actions by repeatedly clicking the Undo button located on the Standard toolbar.
  
  

Notice the small list arrow next to the Undo button. When you click on it, you see a list of all the separate actions you have performed on the document you are working on. You can select as many actions as you want to undo.

IMPORTANT: If you undo an action in the middle of the list, you will also undo all the actions above the one you select. For example, if you undo the 15th action in your list, you will also be undoing the 14 actions that came before the one you select.
