While entering text in a word document on my laptop, several lines of text
were accidentally deleted (palm brushing over mouse pad?). I looked in the
toolbars and could not locate "undo delete."

Can anyone help?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Undo in general should have helped. You could have overwritten the text if
it had inadvertently become selected.

Use the keyboard shortcut keys CTRL Z to undo

Hope this helps.

The Undo button and pull-down arrow (Undo history) are located on the Quick
Access Toolbar, to the right of the Office button and Save icon.

Suzanne,

Thanks for the site reference. I'm just brand new to Vista and Office 2007.
Getting out of the comfort zone of XP.

Another question for you Robert regarding compatibility of word 2007 with
2003. Does the receiving party have to get the compatibility tool from the
Microsoft site or can I make my version compatible with 2003?

I'm not Robert but I happened to be around. ;-)

Either the receiving party needs the compatibility pack or you can save you
files in the Word 97-2003 file format. Click the Microsoft Office Button,
point to Save As and you'll see the Word 97-2003 file type. This is also
available in the Save As dialog box, under the Save As type list.

Also note when you use the Word 97-2003 file type, Word 2007 will use
Compatibility Mode (indicated in the title bar) which will disable features
not compatible with previous versions.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

Sorry, I missed that you were using Word 2007 and actually couldn't find
Undo at all. As Summer pointed out, Ctrl+Z will Undo, and Robert has pointed
you to the location of the Undo button, so you should be in business.

If you click on the Pizza Button at the top left of the screen and select
Options from the bottom border of the dialog that appears and then select
the Customize item, in the Popular Commands, you will find an Undo button
that you can add to the Quick Access Toolbar.
