Undoing, redoing, and repeating actions

WordPerfect lets you undo actions one at a time, or undo a series of actions all at once. You can undo changes made to text, graphics, or tables. However, some actions, such as scrolling or saving a document, cannot be reversed. You can redo actions that you have undone. You can also repeat actions.

In addition, you can recover text that you deleted from a document. When you recover deleted text, WordPerfect displays the deleted text as highlighted text at the cursor. You can reinsert the highlighted text or choose from up to two previous deletions.

The maximum number of Undo levels is 300. A large number of items in the Undo/Redo history requires more disk space and memory for editing. If you notice reduced computer performance, decrease the number of items in the Undo/Redo history.
•
 
If the Undo/Redo history has not been saved with the document, you can undo and redo changes that have been made since the document was last saved.
