Undo and Redo

Like most men, I make a lot of mistakes (sorry guys). If life was a computer, I would be in great shape because I know how to use undo and redo. It's time for you acquire this ability.

Reasons to use Undo or Redo:

You just changed text in a file and don't like the new text. UNDO

You change the formating of text and don't like the new formatting. UNDO

You click on something by accident in a file and you don't know what just happened and you don't like it. UNDO

You used undo but changed your mind. REDO

This will work in most programs but it only works within the program. You can't format your computer or change settings in windows then undo them the same way. Using Undo will undo the last change you made to in a program. You can often use it many times in a row to undo a series of changes (it depends on the program).

Alright, let's make some mistakes then fix them.
