Why can't I undo forever in Excel like in Word?
 
When I am working in Word, I can undo as manny actions as I have performed,
as long as I don't save the actions. However, in Excel, I can only go back
a few steps. How can I go back in actions like I do in Word?

You can change the level of undo's in Excel:

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

But lots of things in excel kill the undo stack (running most macros for
instance).

Isn't there any way to prevent the killing?
With some piece of code, maybe...?

Not that I know. In fact, mode code kills the undo stack.

mode code = most code

(No, I don't have a code, er, cold!)
