A number of people have asked me…

The New Paperclip… I made a big mistake, now how do I undo my changes in Word 2007?

Thanks for the questions… yes the Undo command has moved a little from previous versions of Word.  You can now find Undo (as well as Redo and Repeat) in the Quick Access Toolbar.  The Quick Access Toolbar lives in the top left hand corner of the screen.  Have a look at the image below, I have circled Undo so you know where it is for next time.

Note that you will also find Undo in the same spot (in the Quick Access Toolbar) in PowerPoint 2007, and Excel 2007 :)

    It seems like I can only undo the last 20 - 30 seconds of changes in OneNote 2007. Can anyone help that?

    Does Control-Z still work? Keyboard shortcuts save more time than any toolbar, although it is typical of MicroSoft to make needless GUI changes that, as this thread indicates, cause confusing and irritating wastes of time.

    Hi Brad,

    Ctrl-Z still works fine - in fact you will find almost all your keyboard shortcuts are the same when you move to Office 2007.

    Cheers,
    TNP ;)
