To remove changes, you must click Undo on the Quick Access Toolbar for each change that you want to remove.

• You can simultaneously undo multiple changes that you made to one dialog box option, as long as you did not make changes to another dialog box option in between.

• You may want to move the dialog box so that you can see both the picture and the dialog box at the same time.
