my undo button is missing

[Chuck Roseman]

I am missing my undo button in Word 2003.I have gone to the tools menu and
dropped down to the customize menu but the undo button does not show anywhere.

 

[Peter T. Daniels]

There's a place in the Customize dialog to click "Reset." (This will
undo any changes you've made to your toolbar.)

Did you set the list of commands you were looking in to "All
Commands"? (In Word2007 it's simply called "Undo" so it probably is in
2003 also.) You can assign that command to any toolbar, such as the
one it disappeared from.

Meanwhile does Ctrl-Z still work to do an undo?

In Word 2003, the command is EditUndo (in All Commands) or Undo in the Edit
category.

In Word 2007, the complete command names are displayed only in the Customize
Keyboard dialog box, unfortunately.

Yes, I guess MS thought this would be more user-friendly (and it makes sense
in a way, since there are no longer menu items to relate them to), but I
find it disconcerting.

The problem is that not all commands are unique in their shorter versions.
For example, in the "All Commands" section in Word Options, Customize, there
are three "Styles" commands.

Sure, a longer version of the name displays if you rest the mouse pointer on
it, but that seems like an unnecessary, extra step.
