Works 3.0: Cannot Undo an Edit Replace in Database or Spreadsheet (130202)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Works 3.0
- Microsoft Works 3.0a
- Microsoft Works 3.0b
This article was previously published under Q130202 SUMMARY
Within the Works for Windows database list view and the spreadsheet,
you cannot perform an Edit Undo after choosing Replace from the Edit
menu.
WORKAROUND
From the Edit menu, choose Replace again and replace the new value
with the previous value.
NOTE:
If there were any cells/records that already had the "new" value before
completing the original Replace procedure, the above workaround will not
work. For example, if a database contains three records with a City of
"Seattle" and two with "Boston", and you replace all occurrences of
"Seattle" with "Boston", reversing the procedure and replacing "Boston"
with "Seattle" will incorrectly leave five "Seattle" records. To solve the
problem you would need to manually edit those records or use an earlier
version of the file.
