Where is Redo List in Word 2007
I have 2 questions about the Redo icon in Word 2007. In 2003, next to the
Redo icon we had a list of previous actions. I don't see that anymore. Also, how do you control how many actions can be Redone? It doesn't seem to have many "redos" available. Thanks Ardell

Where is Redo List in Word 2007
Not the question, I think. The question is how to access the dropdown list
so that you can scroll down and select the last action to be undone instead of just clicking the button repeatedly. -- Suzanne S.

Once you Undo steps & start to take new actions the Redo list is cleared until you Undo again. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Ardell" wrote in message ...

Where is Redo List in Word 2007
By Golly, I think you're right! Since it was posted in the "New Users" forum
I automatically went a bit too fundamental, perhaps  In that case, the Redo List - along with numerous other familiar conventions - has gone bye-bye. Apparently the button now serves a dual function to Redo the last Undo(s) or Repeat the last action (Ctrl+Y) if you've not Undone anything, but no longer presents a Redo List. the Undo button, however, still works the same as in previous versions. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Suzanne S.

So that option is gone! I appreciate your help. Thank you both.

Where is Redo List in Word 2007
I would hope that the Redo list would be buried among the Commands Not in
the Ribbon that can be added to the QAT. If not, I shall be extremely disappointed, as I often undo dozens of steps at a time. -- Suzanne S.

Where is Redo List in Word 2007
If it's there I'll be d*mned if I can find it :-) I've scoured every item in
the All Commands list from A-Z with nothing to show but the 'new' version. Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 4/2/07 6:20 PM, in article , "Suzanne S.

Where is Redo List in Word 2007
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. -- Suzanne S.

Be assured, it is there. Click the arrow at the end of the QAT, select More
Commands, change View to All Commands and scroll down. There are a couple of Redo commands, select the one with the little arrow and add it to the QAT. It works fine. Terry "Suzanne S.
