In Excel, UNDO/REDO is grayed out. How can I turn it back on?
My Excel 2003 undo and redo buttons (the icons and in the menu) are grayed
out and unavailable. What could cause that? How can I make the them active again? This happens in both existing and new spreadsheets. Thanks. |

Hi,
The undo stack can be reset by running a macro or saving the file, could one of these be the cause?

There are lots of things that can reset the undo/redo stacks.
You could have run a macro (or an event macro could have fired). You could have saved the workbook. There's a setting in the windows registry that tells excel how many undo levels to keep track of--maybe it was set to 0. xl2k and above XL: How to Modify the Number of Undo Levels http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211922 xl97 XL97: How to Modify the Number of Undo Levels http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=162944 DeerMusic wrote: My Excel 2003 undo and redo buttons (the icons and in the menu) are grayed out and unavailable.

I too have this problem, but editing my Registry failed to solve it on my
machine. "Dave Peterson" wrote: There are lots of things that can reset the undo/redo stacks. You could have run a macro (or an event macro could have fired). You could have saved the workbook.

Are you sure you changed the correct key/value?

Do you have any addins that could be causing trouble?
Chip Pearson has some notes on how to diagnose startup errors: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/StartupErrors.htm And Jan Karel Pieterse has more notes: http://www.jkp-ads.com/Articles/StartupProblems.asp Essentially, you'll turn off all the addins/startup workbooks and then open excel. And then turn on each addin (closing and reopening) one at a time to find the culprit. SD Matthews wrote: I too have this problem, but editing my Registry failed to solve it on my machine.
