How does the "Redo" function work in Publisher 2007?

[Jan Wlodarski]

Does it not work like it does in Word where you can "redo" the immediate
action an unlimited number of times?

My "redo" function in Publisher 2007 will only work after I've used the
"undo" function and then only for the number of times that I used "undo" or
control z. For example, if I used the undo function to undo the last 5
changes I made, I can then "redo" those 5 changes but no more.

If I "do" something, and want to "redo" it a number of other times to other
areas of my document, I cannot. The function is grayed out. Which is why I'm
asking how it works in Publisher. My assumption was always that it worked the
same way as in Word, but when I thought about it, I had the same problem with
Publisher 2003.

Thanks for your help!

Redo redoes what has been undone.
Repeat repeats the last command.
The two often share the same toolbar button, hence the confusion.

Publisher has the former, not the latter.
