Cy,
Yes, in applications like Word and Excel, there is an undo cache that
allows for several past undo. However I don't know if that holds when a
file has been saved, or if it only clears when a file is saved and then
reloaded.
However for Notepad, there is just one layer, and it works like a toggle.

Bill,
About all I can say is that you are a lucky man. (LOL)
I can only postulate that whatever you were trying to undo was probably
not critical with potentially cataclysmic results. (LOL)
I think the undo command operates on the Murphy Principal?

Undo doesn't work only for the last command. I've used undo to go back
several commands, as many as 6 or 7.

Hi,
Only problem with this solution is that I have done some other Word
type command *before* I discovered what the problem probably was. Undo
only works on the *LAST* command. (frownie face)

Oh, boy can't tell you how many time's I've accidentally done that, and
wondered where all the text went. Sure is nice to have undo.

Adrian:
sorry for the late reply. I was in the UK from 15th June to 4th
July, so I am Catching up. Although I took my laptop, I could not get it
fixed until a few days before my return. Too late to worry about email
and the like, until I got back.
The CTRL+A command is the Windows command for highlighting all text
in a document, email message, etc, regardless as to where the cursor is in
the text.
The CTRL+A command, cannot be used to unhighlight text.
Using any of the arrow keys, page up and page down keys and the home
and end keys will unhighlight any text that is highlighted.
Warning! If you have selected/highlighted any text, Pressing a key
that inserts a character, including a space character, will result in the
text that is selected/highlighted, being deleted. If you accidentally do
this, press CTRL+Z to undo your last action and restore the highlighted
text.
HTH
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

When I tried Laura's suggestion, the first press of control-a
resulted in JAWS saying, "Selected." When I pressed control-a a second
time, JAWS said, "Unselected." this was in an email message.
Perhaps it works in XP, which I have, but not Windows 7, which I
know you've advanced to. The only other explanation must be that I'm not
an Anasazi!

Hi Adrian,
Yes, I gave it a try but nothing changed.
Now, even more interesting is the fact that when I am in an email
and press ctrl+A I do hear "selected" but when in a folder such as
"deleted items" or whatever I hear (nothing selected? In both cases the
keystroke actually works properly although JAWS does not think so.
(LOLLOLLOL)
Oh well, maybe JAWS V12?

Did you test Laura's suggestion? I just did, and she's right. It's
useful information.

I don't think ctrl+a ever unselects anything. I think CTRL+A
always selects everything.

Hit control a twice that way you can make sure that everything is
selected and unselected that's just my advice. Take it or leave it.

Hi,
Again, W7 64 bit, Outlook 2007 and an HP Pavilion.
In Outlook when I press ctl+a to select all messages in the
folder JAWS dutifully reports that "Nothing selected" - but - when I do
the shift+delete and then confirm guess what, everything *WAS* selected
and all is gone.
Just thought I would mention the misinformation so someone is
not lulled into thinking that nothing war really selected and makes an
unfortunate discovery. (LOL)
