This tweak lets you modify the amount of undo history information that Excel will track. Increasing this value allows you to undo more than the default number of changes.

Open your registry and find the key below where [version] is "9.0" for Excel 2000 and "10.0" for Excel 2002.

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, named "UndoHistory" and set it to the number of undo levels between 0 and 100.

Restart Excel for the change to take effect.


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
UndoHistory	REG_DWORD	0x00000064 (100)


	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[Version]\Excel\Options

Settings:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[Version]\Excel\Options]
Name: UndoHistory
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value: Number of Undo Levels
