-
Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
SUMMARY
During editing, if you select a section of text and then press the
DEL key on the numeric keypad, the deleted section is NOT copied to
the Clipboard. If you want the deleted section to end up on the
Clipboard, hold down the SHIFT key, then press the DEL key. In Word
for Windows version 2.0, you can also press CTRL+X to delete the
selection to the Clipboard.
Immediately after you delete a section of a document, you still can
retrieve the deletion by using one of the following methods:
- From the Edit menu, choose the Undo Edit Clear command.
- Hold down the ALT key and press the BACKSPACE key. In Word for
Windows version 2.0, you can also press CTRL+Z to access the
Undo Edit Clear command.
Note that the Undo Edit Clear command retrieves the most-recent
deletion. For example, if you delete the word "frog" and then delete
"little", the Undo Edit Clear command will retrieve "little". It will
not retrieve "frog".
