Microsoft Word – Undo and Redo – Keyboard Shortcuts and Buttons [Tutorial]
The Undo command allows you to quickly undo an action or a wrong keystroke. In Microsoft Word, you can even undo the last 100 undone actions, if necessary. Some of the actions that can be undone in Word include (but are not limited to):
The easiest way to use the Undo command is via your keyboard. If you are on a Windows system and want to undo an action, press Ctrl+Z on your keyboard to undo it.
On Mac, press ⌘+Z. Pressing either command once will undo the last action you performed. If you want to undo more than the last command, keep pressing the shortcut until you're happy with the result.
