Creating Messages

Publication 2706-817

Storing changes to the current message

To store changes to a message, do one of the following:

Click the Store Message tool to store and update the edited
message and its attributes into the highlighted message in the
Message List.

Highlight a different message in the Message List. Before a new
message appears in the Message Edit box, changes to the
previous message are stored.

To cancel all changes in the current message:

Click the Cancel Changes tool to return the message in the Message
Edit box to the last time it was stored. Changes include additions,
deletions or edits to attributes, embedded variables and text.

Undoing and Redoing editing changes

Undo reverses all editing changes, including changes in the
message’s attributes, to the currently selected message. It can even
restore a deleted message.

To Undo changes:

Click on the Undo tool.

Or press

CTRL

+

Z.

Or select Undo on the Edit menu.

Until the message has been stored once, the Undo tool or command
is greyed out. After it has been stored, additions or cuts to the
message are reversed one at a time until the Undo tool or command
is greyed out again.

Redo reverses the effects of an Undo, restoring the editing and
attribute changes to the message.

To Redo the changes:

Click on the Redo tool.

Or press

CTRL

+

Y

.

Or select Redo on the Edit menu.

The message’s Undo changes are restored, one item at a time, until
the Redo tool or command is greyed out again. Even if another
message is highlighted, the last message that had changes undone is
returned to the Message Edit box.
