Undo..how about redo?
 

Hi, I've got Outlook express 6.0 There is an "undo" icon in the tool bar
that I can go backwards with and undo an error. But there is no redo. So if
I hit the undo button I can lose a whole document that I just worked on.
Which is just what happened to me a few moments ago. Why isn't there a redo
in the top bar??????????????? That is really lame and of course there is zip
in the 'help' file. Is my Outlook Express faulty?
Thanks
Catt

One of OE's many downfalls, and since Windows Mail is the future program in
Vista, don't expect any major changes to OE. Do what I did. View | Layout |
Customize Toolbar and Remove that button.

Undo and Redo.

Ctrl-Z will Undo
Ctrl-Y will Redo

Works in almost every program in Windows. But for documents in preparation,
I would not trust it. Get in the habit of giving your work a filename and
saving your work every 4-5 minutes with a quick Ctrl+S.

CTRL-Y will undo the undo for you g. It works in most programs
and I just tested it in OE; worked fine.

Gawd, I tried control+shift+z but didn't know about the control "y". I wish
I had known that one. Its tough sometimes doing word processing on a laptop.
It sends the cursor around sometimes and does strange things. After that
happened is when I used the undo icon....lost the whole thing.
Thanks for the tips
