to undo the action.
CAUSE
The undo feature of Word is disabled when you type in a forms text box.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the
beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Word 97 for Windows has an enhanced feature for creating online
forms that is both powerful and customizable: it provides options for
entering data, selecting choices, and recording feedback. The online form
can be distributed and collected via e-mail or over a network. When you
create a custom program, such as a form or a dialog box with ActiveX
controls, by using the Control Toolbox toolbar, you can take advantage of
the Visual Basic programming language in Word.
When you use the form control tools from the Control Toolbox, Word disables
the undo/redo feature. In addition, the shortcut keys for Undo and Redo
(CTRL+Z and ALT+BACKSPACE, or ALT+SHIFT+BACKSPACE, respectively) are
disabled.
