Undo Your Mistakes!

Friday May 9, 2008

The other day I was working on a web page and I got to a point when my page just started looking silly. This was unfortunate, because I really started off well, but in my pursuit of finding a good color scheme things got out of hand. What did I do? I kept “undoing” my work until I got back to a point where my page looked good again.

The undo command can be a useful tool. You’ve probably used this command before. You can find it on your edit menu in a word processor. The feature allows you to undo all sorts of things, like typing, formatting, and most importantly—deleting.

Who hasn’t deleted whole paragraphs or pages by accident? Thank heavens for the undo button!

I thought it was worth noting that this handy tool is available in all sorts of programs, and not simply the word processors you’ve used. Whenever you get yourself in a scrape when making slides, charts, photo editors, or web page designs, remember you can always try the undo option.
