Context-sensitive undo?
I'm using Office 2016, Windows 10, and I was making some edits in Excel (although this could apply to any MS Office scenario, I think), but I wanted to undo formatting in the cell I was on, but that change was applied a few steps ago.
I could hit Undo several times, but that would of course undo everything else that I've done. I would love if I could, just like there's "Paste Special" have an "Undo Special" and only undo changes to this cell.
Does such a thing exist? If not, is it possible to fake it somehow?
(This spreadsheet is a list about access -- I had just highlighted a cell yellow to indicate "awaiting info", typed things in a few more cells when I had that data, and then realized I had the info, so I just wanted to unhighlight that cell, since I did not need to draw attention to it. So it's not about calculations or conditional formatting)
