Repeating steps

To repeat the last step you performed, use the Edit > Repeat command. 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 palette. (For basic information about the History palette, see About the History palette.)

To repeat one step:

In the History palette, select the step and click the Replay button. The step is replayed, and a copy of it appears in the History palette.

To repeat a series of adjacent steps:

1	Select steps in the History palette by doing one of the following:
	Drag from one step to another.
	Select one step, then Shift-click the step at the other end of the series of steps.
2	Click Replay.
	The steps are replayed in order, and a new step, labeled Replay Steps, appears in the History palette.

To repeat non-adjacent steps:

1	Select a step, then Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) other steps.
2	Click Replay.
	The steps are replayed in order, and a new step, labeled Replay Steps, appears in the History palette.

Note that when you replay steps, the steps that are played are the selected steps, not necessarily the step currently pointed to by the thumb.
