Using Undo, Redo, and Repeat
Note: There is an attached file in this email.
Introduction:
You may not want to admit this, but you are going to make mistakes using
Word. You might accidentally cut something you didn't really mean to cut, or
replace
something you didn't really mean to replace. Fortunately, Word has a
wonderful feature called undo that does just that-it undoes any mistakes and
actions,
as though they never happened. You can almost think of undo as Word's "time
machine" function, because it can take you back before you even made your
mistake.
This lesson explains how you can undo both single and multiple mistakes, and
how to redo your actions in case you change your mind.
Step 1. Open up the "sample memo document".
Select the line TO: All Staff , then press the Delete key to erase the line
.
The line TO: All Staff disappears.
*. Now you realise that You didn't really want to erase that! Watch how you
can undo your "mistake."
Step 2. Magnification users, Click the Undo button found on the toolbar at
the top of your word processor window or in the edit menu.
Screen reader users, you can use the keys, "control + letter Z" to restore
your mistake to what it was origionally. .
*. The deleted text "TO: All Staff" appears again
Now maybe you did want to delete the line TO: All Staff, after all. Anything
that can be undone can be redone in case you change your mind about
something, or want to "undo an undo." Try redoing the text deletion.
Step 3. Magnification users, Click the Redo button or select the "edit menu"
and "redo" from the menu choices. Also you can click on the button located
on the toolbar at the top of your word processor screen.
Screen reader users, Another way to redo is to press "Ctrl + Letter Y" or
select Edit → Redo from the menu .
*. The line "TO: All Staff" is deleted again.
If you're like most people, you will probably make not one, but several
mistakes and it may be a minute or two before you've even realized you've
made them.
Fortunately, the programmers at Microsoft thought of us when they developed
Word, because the undo feature is actually multileveled-meaning you can undo
any of the previous things you did.
Select the line; " Re: What a memo is and how to write one"
To do this;
1. Arrow down to the line of text and go to the beginning of that line.
2. Use keys , "control + end" to select that line.
Now if you Type over those words you have selected they will be replaced
with whatever it is that you have now typed..
*. There's your second mistake (the first mistake was deleting the "TO: All
Staff" text).
(How to correct your mistakes)
Magnification users, Click the Undo button list arrow which is on the
toolbar at the top of words screen. Here you will see a list of all possible
restoration points of the items you accidently typed over.
Screen reader users can also access this list by doing the following;
1. Press the left alt key once.
2. Now press keys, "control + tab key about 3 times" to reach the buttons
you want. Youw ill know when you are on the right row of buttons as the
first button in that list is "new" meaning new document.
3. Now if you use your "right arrow" you will come to the "undo list and you
can use your "down arrow" to move through each of the possible restoration
points which you may wish to return too. Just press the "enter key" on that
choice to implement it.
Screen reader users, an easier way to restore your mistake to what you want
is to use the "undo command keys" control + Z" or to "redo", its "control +
Y"
*. If you wanted, you could undo everything you have worked on today on this
document-but you don't want to do that-just undo the last four mistakes.
For to gain some practice in using the "undo and redo commands" just type
some lines of text into a blank document. Now just either delete those lines
and use the undo command or redo commands to fix things up as you would want
them.
