Certain other steps also aren’t repeatable, such as dragging a page element to
somewhere else on the page. When you perform such a step, a menu-command
icon with a small red
X appears in the History panel.
Steps are replayed exactly as they were originally performed; you can’t modify
the steps as you replay them. For example, if you previously changed the color
of a table cell to red, applying that step to another table cell changes that cell’s
color to red as well; you can’t specify a different color when you apply the step
to a new cell.
Repeating steps
To repeat the last step you performed, use the Edit > Repeat command, or use the
keyboard shortcut Y (Windows) or Y (Macintosh). The
name of this command changes in the Edit menu to reflect the last step you
performed; for example, if you’ve just typed some text, the command name is
Repeat Typing. (You can’t use the Repeat command immediately after an Undo
or Redo operation.)
To repeat steps other than the most recent one, or to repeat multiple steps at once,
use the History panel.
Note that when you replay steps, the steps that are played are the steps that are
selected (highlighted), not necessarily the step currently pointed to by the slider.
To repeat one step:
In the History panel, select a step and click the Replay button. The step is
replayed, and a copy of it appears in the History panel.
To repeat a series of adjacent steps:
1
Select steps in the History panel by doing one of the following:
•
Drag from one step to another. (Don’t drag the slider; just drag from the text
label of one step to the text label of another step.)
•
Select the first step, then Shift-click the last step; or select the last step and then
Shift-click the first step.
Note: Although you can select a series of steps that includes a black mouse-movement
indicator line, that mouse movement is skipped when you replay the steps.
2
Click Replay.
The steps are replayed in order, and a new step, labeled Replay Steps, appears in
the History panel.
