<para>It happens all the time. While working on a document, a change is made.

The change was wrong, now you want to back out of your changes.</para>

<para>Fortunately, &kword; has a solution.</para>

<para>Each time a change is made to a document, &kword; remembers what

|
the change was. &kword; can
|
|
<emphasis>Undo</emphasis> each change once a time. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As an example, you are writing a business letter and type in the following sentence:</para>
|
|
|
|
<informalexample><para>It is a pleasure for me to give you this letter of introduction to your newest employee.</para></informalexample>
|
|
|
|
<para>But that doesn't seem right, so you change it:</para>
|
|
|
|
<informalexample><para>It is a joy for me to give you this letter of introduction to your newest employee.</para></informalexample>
|
|
|
|
<para>You decide it was better the first time and you want to change it back.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Simply select
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Undo</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from
|
|
the menubar.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The text now reads <quote>pleasure</quote> again.</para>
|
|
|
|
<informalexample><para>It is a pleasure for me to give you this letter of introduction to your newest employee.</para></informalexample>
|
|
|
|
<para>If, after you Undo a change, and then want to reverse that decision,
|
|
select
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Redo</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and
|
|
the Undo is reversed.</para>
|
|
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>Sometimes it is not possible for &kword; to undo an edit. In these instances, &kword;
|
|
will display the <guimenuitem>Undo</guimenuitem> function gray and the function is not
|
|
accessible.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Othertimes, &kword; will only perform a partial undo of the previous task.
|
|
This is because &kword; processes changes to documents differently then might
|
|
initially be expected. Simply select
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Undo</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
|
|
again, and more of the edits will be undone.</para>
|
|
</note>
|
|
<para>By default, &kword; keeps track of the last 30 edits to the document.
|
|
This number can be adjusted up or down. For details, see <link linkend="opt-misc">Configuring &kword;</link>.</para>

<para>The <emphasis>Undo</emphasis> and <emphasis>Redo</emphasis> commands can

<para>The <quote>clipboard</quote> is a concept familiar to most people

|
who have used modern word processors. It is a piece of your computers
|
|
memory which is set aside as a temporary storage space. Text can be
|
|
<quote>Cut</quote> or <quote>Copied</quote> from your document into
|
|
the clipboard. You can move to another part of the document or to
|
|
another application entirely, and <quote>Paste</quote> this text at the new
|
|
location. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The most common use for the clipboard is to move or copy text
|
|
which has already entered into one part of the document to another

|
part of the same document or to another document entirely.</para>

<para>This concept is probably best described with an example.</para>

<para>Regular expressions are available by placing a mark in this checkbox. The use of regular expressions is beyond the

|
|
<para>Now in the <guilabel>Replace With</guilabel> section of the replace dialog, you place a mark in the check box labeled

<guilabel>Use placeholders</guilabel>. Click the <guibutton>Insert Placeholder</guibutton> button and select

<guilabel>Complete Match</guilabel>. &kword; will insert a <emphasis>\0</emphasis> in the

<guilabel>Replacement text:</guilabel> text box.</para>

<para>Now surround the placeholder with parentheses, so your text string is: <emphasis>(\0)</emphasis></para>

<para>When this is executed, whenever &kword; encounters the find text (ie. <quote>Reference 0</quote>, <quote>Reference 1</quote>,

<quote>(Reference 2)</quote>, respectively). </para>
