# 7.2. Undo/Redo

It happens all the time. You are working on a document, and you make a change. Then you realize, thats not what you wanted to do at all!

Fortunately, KWord has a solution for you.

Each time you make a change to a document, KWord remembers what the change was. If you decide to remove some of the changes, you can "Undo" each change one at a a time.

As an example, William Shakespeare is using KWord to write his new drama. He types in the following verse:

Chorus: | Two households, both alike in dignity,
| In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
| From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
| Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

Now he thinks to himself, "Maybe Verona is not the ideal place?"

So he changes the line:

Chorus: | Two households, both alike in dignity,
| In fair Constantinople, where we lay our scene,
| From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
| Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

"No", he says to himself, "that screws up the meter of the poem", and decides to change it back.

He selects Edit->Undo from the menubar.

The text now reads "Verona" again.

If, after you Undo a change, and then decide that was a mistake, you can select Edit->Redo and the Undo is reversed.

| Sometimes it is not possible for KWord to undo an edit. You will be informed of this when you select the Edit function, it will replace the Undo function with No Undo Possible.
