Unable to Undo a Drag-and-Drop Editing Action

 * }

Q96429

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, version 6.0

-

SUMMARY
You cannot undo drag-and-drop or drag-and-copy editing actions in a document that contains a bookmark. After you drag-and-drop or drag-and-copy text in a document that contains a bookmark, the Undo option in the Edit menu becomes unavailable, and the status bar at the bottom of the screen displays the message &quot;there is no edit to undo.&quot;

If you delete all bookmarks in the document, you will be able to undo drag-and-drop and drag-and-copy editing actions. For instructions on deleting bookmarks, see page 265 of &quot;Using Microsoft Word.&quot;

If you still can't undo a drag-and-drop editing action after you have removed all bookmarks from your document, the document was probably created in Word 5.5 or 5.0 and once contained a bookmark. Saving the document as an RTF file will allow you to undo drag-and-drop editing actions.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 6.0 for MS-DOS. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
