How to Use Undo and Redo in Microsoft Word

Sooner or later, you’ll make a mistake—or you’ll discover that you made a mistake a couple of minutes ago. You can use Word’s Undo feature to undo one or more of the last changes you made. To use Undo from the keyboard, press CTRL-Z once for each change you want to undo. Until you get the hang of what Word reckons is one change and what the next, press CTRL-Z once at a time and see which change is undone. If you undo too many changes and need to redo one, press CTRL-Y.

You can also undo and redo actions using the Undo button and Redo button on the Quick

Access Toolbar:

To undo one change with the mouse, click the Undo button. To see which change Word

will undo, hover the mouse pointer over the Undo button so that Word displays a ScreenTip showing the change

To undo multiple changes, choose the changes from the drop-down list, as shown here.

Click the Redo button to restore a change you’ve undone.
