ID: Q173117

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you open a new Microsoft Word 97 document and copy styles into the Word document from another template through the Style Gallery, you cannot undo that action by clicking the Undo button (or by clicking Undo on the Edit menu).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

The Style Gallery is used to copy styles from other templates to your document and does not change the template attached to your document. The Style Gallery also does not write the changes to the Undo stack; therefore, no changes can be undone when you click the Undo button or click Undo on the Edit menu.
