WinWord: Can't Restore Table Deleted When Using Revision Marks
ID: Q91207
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
SUMMARY
In a Microsoft Word for Windows document, if you select the Mark
Revisions check box in the Revision Marks dialog box and then delete a
table using the Delete Rows or Delete Columns commands on the Table
menu, Word for Windows deletes the table instead of marking it for
deletion.
If you subsequently choose the Undo Revisions button in the
Mark Revisions dialog box, Word for Windows does not restore the
deleted table. In Word version 6.0 for Windows if you choose Undo
from the Edit menu the Table will be restored.
MORE INFORMATIONWorkaround
When you select the table, select the paragraph mark above and below
the table as well. Press the DEL key to mark the selection for
deletion. Notice that when you select non-table text, the Delete
Columns and Delete Rows commands are unavailable on the Table menu.
When you use this workaround, you can use the Undo Revisions button to
restore the deleted table.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- In a new Word for Windows document, choose Insert Table from the
Table menu. Choose the OK button to accept the default settings.
- Type some text in each cell.
- From the Tools menu, choose Revision Marks. Select the Mark
Revisions check box, then choose the OK button.
- From the Table menu, choose Select Table. From the Table menu,
choose Delete Rows. Notice that Word for Windows completely deletes
the table instead of marking it for deletion.
- From the Tools menu, choose Revision Marks. Choose the Undo
Revisions button. Choose the Yes button when Word asks if you want to
undo all revisions, then choose the Close button.
Word does not restore the table, and you cannot retrieve the table.
