Multiple undoes, yes, but it's more comparable to Wordpad than to Word

I have been using Windows for years, but every time I see a picture of TextEdit I start reminiscing about the good old days using Microsoft Word 5.1 for the Macintosh. I like the simpler ruler.

I was trying so hard to do this on Snow Leopard lol

BOOM!

This tip only works on Lion.

"One of the annoying features of the system-wide spell check on Mac's is the fact you have to grab your mouse"

Am I the only one who is having problems getting this shortcut to work in TextEdit?
