Default Where is Redo List in Word 2007

Well, it was the Undo list I was panicked about losing, but I'm glad to hear
that both Undo list *and* Redo list are alive and well. I couldn't imagine
that their omission could have been anything but a disastrous oversight.

I just fired up 2007 here at home (running on XP in VPC7 - decently) and
sure enough there *is* a Redo button that provides the list effect.

I swear I couldn't locate it on the PC at work, but I intend to look again
when I go in later in the morning.

Thanks, Terry - I'm sure Suzanne will be quite relieved ;-)

A regrettable oversight. In Word 2003, if I drag Undo to a toolbar, the
button includes the dropdown arrow. There's no such thing in Word 2007?

In
the Interactive Command Reference, it appears that there is a dropdown
pointer beside it.

Looking at the subject line again, however, I see the question was

about
the
*Redo* list rather than Undo; the latter seems still to exist. Redo is

a
somewhat different situation, I guess.

Default Where is Redo List in Word 2007

Hi Suzanne,

The undo with list is the default one on the QAT in Word 2007. The 'redo' with list was considered to be confusing . The default
one is named Redo in the customization dialog but on the QAT the tooltip is
'Repeat (Ctrl+Y)'
and in the tooltip it also lists what it would repeat. For example if you applied bold to text the tooltip changes to
'Repeat Bold (Ctrl+Y)

In the Customize 'All Commands list
Redo with list is named
Redo(redo)
while the 'Redo' that is on the QAT by default is named
Redo(RedoOrRepeat)

Although IMHO the oversight is to add the Redo/Repeat combo to the QAT by
default instead of the Redo command with the list.

I suspect their SQM data showed users use Repeat (F4 or Ctrl +Y) and they
use Redo (which of course the single command under Edit changes accordingly)
so they added it the same command as used under the Edit menu and didn't
give a lot of thought to those who use the Redo List.

Default Where is Redo List in Word 2007

The next question would be whether SQM tracks whether the command was issued
from some control, or a keyboard shortcut.
If lots of users used F4 or Ctrl+Y or Alt+Return (... I know I do use F4 a
bit), that shouldn't have influenced the choice of what to put on the QAT,
since the keyboard shortcuts would have continued working (I suspect).

My understanding is that CEIP just tracked the commands, not how they were
invoked (though I could be wrong about that). If this is the case, then the
data that Cut, Copy, and Paste were the most-used commands and should be
featured prominently would be defensible, despite the fact that informed
users were using keyboard shortcuts rather than the toolbar buttons.

Default Where is Redo List in Word 2007

I'm trying to remember as well, I know I asked a LOT of questions about SQM
and never received an answer, such as the number of licensed users and the
number of those who opted in to CEIP. ;-)

I think you're right, Suzanne, that it only tracked the commands but not how
they were invoked. I now recall asking if they tracked commands used on
custom toolbars I don't think they did. (My line of reasoning was their data
was indeed correct - users rarely customize their toolbars. However, that's
because once they have the toolbars they want and need, they leave them
alone and even take the customizations with them from one version to the
next. Just because their data doesn't reflect daily customization it doesn't
mean users do not use them.)

I'm not sure if how they track the usage has been changed for Office 2007
but that's a good question to ask!

I just fired up 2007 here at home (running on XP in VPC7 - decently)

and
sure enough there *is* a Redo button that provides the list effect.

I swear I couldn't locate it on the PC at work, but I intend to look

Thanks, Terry - I'm sure Suzanne will be quite relieved ;-)

A regrettable oversight. In Word 2003, if I drag Undo to a
toolbar,
the
button includes the dropdown arrow. There's no such thing in Word
2007?
In
the Interactive Command Reference, it appears that there is a
dropdown
pointer beside it.

Looking at the subject line again, however, I see the question was
about
the
*Redo* list rather than Undo; the latter seems still to exist.
Redo
is
a
somewhat different situation, I guess.

Default Where is Redo List in Word 2007

I guess my reasoning was that the Macro Recorder works this way: it doesn't
care how a command is invoked, just what action needs to be performed. I
remember having a discussion about this and finding the response somewhat
unsatisfactory. We did point out to them that customization is a one-time
action that wouldn't show up as a large use. But if I had to go through
Tools | Letters and Mailings | Envelopes and Labels to get to the Labels
dialog (instead of clicking the Envelope button on the toolbar), I wouldn't
check on label numbers for users nearly as often as I do! Which is also the
same reason I put the Options dialog on my menu bar.

I'm trying to remember as well, I know I asked a LOT of questions about

SQM
and never received an answer, such as the number of licensed users and the
number of those who opted in to CEIP. ;-)

I think you're right, Suzanne, that it only tracked the commands but not

how
they were invoked. I now recall asking if they tracked commands used on
custom toolbars I don't think they did. (My line of reasoning was their

data
was indeed correct - users rarely customize their toolbars. However,

that's
because once they have the toolbars they want and need, they leave them
alone and even take the customizations with them from one version to the
next. Just because their data doesn't reflect daily customization it

doesn't
mean users do not use them.)

I'm not sure if how they track the usage has been changed for Office 2007
but that's a good question to ask!

My understanding is that CEIP just tracked the commands, not how they

were
invoked (though I could be wrong about that). If this is the case, then
the
data that Cut, Copy, and Paste were the most-used commands and should be
featured prominently would be defensible, despite the fact that informed
users were using keyboard shortcuts rather than the toolbar buttons.

The next question would be whether SQM tracks whether the command was

issued
from some control, or a keyboard shortcut.
If lots of users used F4 or Ctrl+Y or Alt+Return (... I know I do use

F4
a
bit), that shouldn't have influenced the choice of what to put on the
QAT,
since the keyboard shortcuts would have continued working (I suspect).

Although IMHO the oversight is to add the Redo/Repeat combo to the

QAT
by
default instead of the Redo command with the list.

I suspect their SQM data showed users use Repeat (F4 or Ctrl +Y) and

they
use Redo (which of course the single command under Edit changes
accordingly) so they added it the same command as used under the Edit

menu
and didn't give a lot of thought to those who use the Redo List.
