Zusammenfassung:A method is presented for preserving metadata during an undo operation at a client computer. A first section of a document is modified on a word processing application on the client computer by performing one or more user actions in the first section of the document. While modifying the first section of the document, metadata is received at the client computer for a second section of the document. The metadata is inserted into the second section of the document. After the metadata is inserted into the second section of the document, an undo operation is performed on the word processing application. The undo operation includes the steps of removing the metadata from the second section of the document, undoing the last user action of the one or more user actions in the first section of the document and restoring the metadata for the second section of the document.
