Many factors are at play here. As Andrew (Guessed) said, typing speed may be one such factor.



However, I vaguely recall that there was a specific issue that caused Undo to do only one character at a time. I don't remember the details at the moment, but I will post back when/if I can find out more. :-)

Thank you very much for your answers!


It's absolutely true, that it depends on how fast you type in 'Word' how much letters or words F4 repeats, because normaly F4 repeats everything you have written in the last 2-4 seconds. This works still great in my Home office Word 13 -Version. Whereas no matter how fast I write, or which auto-correction options I have - in my Word 19-Version in my Office I always get only the last letter.


Off course there are workarounds, but I used that F4 function very often and I hoped that someone had the same experience with the Word 2019 version and there might be a way to adjust that function . .
