That won't work, but you can click on Transactions/Unvoid transaction.  
Then you can do whatever you want with it.  BTW, voiding a transaction 
in a closed year messes up the closing balances.  One should probably 
enter a reversing transaction on the date that you realized a 
transaction should be voided (not necessarily the original transaction 
date).
