Excel undoes changes in other files

[Aaron Oxford]

I thought Excel could not do anything else completely stupid and contrary to
how a Window is 'supposed' to work. But I was wrong.

It actually thinks that when you press Ctrl-Z on a spreadsheet you are
wanting to globally roll back changes for all open documents.

What total utter moron came up with this? Could he have been some alien life
form who can write code for Office but has never actually used Windows?

How can I roll back changes on just one document without messing up my work
in others? More to the point, if I close a window to try to avoid this can I
expect Excel to crash losing ALL my work when I do hit Ctrl-Z?

Oh yeah, why I am I annoyed today in particular? Outlook is failing to find
messages, telling me it is unable to open searched messages (which open just
fine in the main view). It really amazes me that the world gets anything done
using this crap.

It may seem impossible, but I now need to elevate my outrage level.

Excel is now informing me that the only change I can 'redo' is close the
document.

Changes gone, can't undo, can't redo... will it now ask me to save my changes?

Bah!
