Undo and Redo commands greyed out

[Brigid Breheny]

The Undo and Redo commands are always greyed out - is there an option I need
to select to "release" them?

 

[John]

Check Tools/Options.../General/Undo levels is set to something greater than
zero.

Best regards

John

John,
I've checked the general tab and it has values greater than 0
Any other suggestions as to why I cannot use the undo and retry facilities?
Regards,
Ken

Hello Ken,

It's possible that the undo functionality has been turned off by some
general code or an add-in for example. You could test this by pasting the
following into the Immediate window of the VBE (Alt+F11 then ctrl+G to show
the Immediate window) and pressing enter:

? Application.UndoEnabled

Under normal conditions this should return 'True' (and if it does we'll need
to have anothre think). If it returns False then you can paste in the
following and press enter to reset:

Application.UndoEnabled = True

Let me know how you get on.

Best regards

John

Hi,

I'm having this same problem the last two days and when I tried the steps
you wrote in the VBE it returned true so any ideas?

Hello Leigh,

Is this happening on all documents or just certian types? What sort of
documents have you been using (for example Org Chart, Flowchart, Brainstrom
etc.)? Also what version of Visio are you using?

Best regards

John

Hi John,

Thanks for the interest. Turns out a co-workers macro was somehow causing
this, he hasn't told me yet how but I suspect it had to do with the flag you
had mentioned in previous posts. Thanks again.
