How do you 'Undo' an action in Word 2007?

[Guest]

When editing a Word document, I have occasionally erred and executed an
undesired command (eg: deleted a line instead of a single word). In
previous Word versions, there was an 'Undo' command in the 'Edit' pull-down
menu. I haven't found a similar command in Word 2007. Is there such a
command? If so, where?

Thanks

To the right of the Office button, in the titlebar of the window, you
should have three buttons: save, undo, redo.

Thanks, Patrick, for your prompt response. Actually, these commands were
not present, but I did find how to customize the 'Quick Access Tool Bar' to
include 'Undo', 'Repeat', etc.

They were not there?
Did you ever modify the QAT?
These commands should be there by default.
Which beta version are you using? Beta 2 or B2TR?

In addition to the QAT commands, you can also use Ctrl+Z for undo, and
Ctrl+Y for redo.

To the right of the Office button (the Office logo, it's a button),
there are a few icons on the only toolbar Office 2007 has, the Quick
Access Toolbar. There you'll find Undo.

Yes. Ctrl+Z continues to work as before. If you need a GUI equivalent, look
at the Quick Access Toolbar (by default, it's above the ribbon, but I keep
it below the ribbon for easier access). By default, the Undo tool is exposed
as the 2nd tool from the left in the QAT, between the Save and Redo/Repeat
tools.
