Triond’s Handy Undo Arrow Resurrects Missing Sentences and Paragraphs

Posted on November 5th, 2008 in Online Writing by Athlyn Green

Ever been busily typing only to discover that an entire paragraph has disappeared? This is annoying and time-consuming. You can resurrect those missing words by using Triond’s Undo arrow.

It’s happened to all of us. We feel we are getting the leg up on our article writing and then lose a sentence or an entire paragraph. Our words disappear into cyberspace and we are left scratching our heads.

In a second scenario, a writer goes to hit one key but his finger mysteriously vears off course and he somehow hits that damn little delete key.

By this time, curses are muttered and threats launched against a dumb and poker-faced monitor. . . Now, I know I wrote some excellent material, but . . . where the hell did it just go? What the heck did I just say? Will I be able to remember it and rewrite it as intended?

All is not lost. Triond’s handy Undo arrow saves the day and tempers temper tantrums!

Triond’s Undo Arrow

If you look up to the top of the Online Editor, where it says Article Body, you’ll see two rows of icons. Starting on the second row, you’ll notice a blue curved arrow. This is the make-or-break magic Undo arrow. Any time your words go missing in action, simply navigate to the little arrow, press it, and viola! your missing words reappear magically on the page.

Now, say you restore those words but upon a second reading, decide to get rid of them (hey, writers are allowed to change their minds!), simply click on the other curved arrow and you can intentionally send your words into Neverland. Neat, eh?

Sometimes, it’s the little things in life that bring the most pleasure!

It never happens to me and it shouldn’t happen to you or to anyone else. You don’t do your writing in the Triond editor — or anywhere else online. It’s as simple as that. You use a word processor or text editor to do your writing and editing, then copy and paste to the site. I just don’t understand why people keep doing their writing online and then complain about losses.

Poll: No I had not known about the undo arrow.

How does that happen, losing paragraphs? For me, it’s the stupid touchpad on my laptop. My finger grazes it highlighting text, and when I continue typing, the highlighted text is overwritten.

In any case, thanks for your tips.
You seem to be our Triond expert!

Hi Glynis,
I’ve worked with Word extensively and have picked up all these goodies through the years. Glad that this info. will help.

Hi Ancient,
Sooner or later, this happens to everyone, as Ken has mentioned. This happens in both Word and in other word processing programs. If you choose to do your work first in Word, you have the handy spell checker available; others, however, find it faster to just use the Online Editor.

Hi Ken,
I agree with your observations. Keypads seem to be highly sensitive and often strange things occur. Another bug-bear of mine is when I insert the cursor and start typing, only to find that the stupid thing has hopscotched somewhere else and my words have once again gone off into cyberspace!

Well, to Ancient’s point, although I always create my articles in a word processor, updates are so much easier to do on-line. It’s so easy for ’something unexpected’ to happen.
In any case, I appreciate the article, and all your other tips Athlyn. I had no idea there was an undo in the editor, and have had to bail on updates more than once because of various mistakes, like the one I mentioned.

I sometimes use an online editor and once my article is completed, copy/paste it into Word to run it through the speller. This actually, while seeming backwards, is faster then trying to copy/paste it from Word. Some programs jiggle with the formatting or you need to tweak your settings before their editor will let you copy/paste from Word.

The ideal scenario is if online content sites, would just use Word,since this is what editors prefer, but this would entail additional costs because Word can be expensive.

Hi again, Ancient,
Some people may not have Word or don’t have the foggiest idea as to how to use it. It is a comprehensive program, which covers 3 large books.

I can understand why newer writers would choose the Online Editor and why seasoned writers might find it faster.

In the end, it comes down to personal preference.

I copy and paste my writing but this information would be very helpful to so many others. It’s always good to help out another triond sibling. Good work! God bless!
