Alt Text Hands-On Example 4.3.4 (continued) Reversing Errors Most actions in software can be reversed, or undone. If an action cannot be undone, software will usually warn the user the action about to be taken is permanent. However, actions such as deleting, formatting, and moving text, as well as many other actions, can be quickly reversed with the Undo command. It is also possible to redo an action that was reversed with the Undo command. The Redo command restores the last action undone. In Microsoft Offi ce, the Undo and Redo commands are located on the Quick Access toolbar. Clicking the Undo button reverses the last action. The [Ctrl][Z] key combination is the shortcut for undo. Clicking the drop- down arrow next to the Undo button displays a list of actions that can be undone. This list allows the user to select multiple actions to undo in one step, but actions must be undone in order. You cannot pick and choose which actions to undo. Clicking the Redo button restores the last undone action. The [Ctrl][Y] keyboard combination is the shortcut for redo. Only one action can be redone at a time.
