Shift+F5 takes you back to the last *edit*--you have to have actually
performed some action at that location (other than just clicking on a link)
for it to be bookmarked. Alt+Left Arrow should take you back to the link you
clicked on.

I have been having the same problem that CEB describes, namely wanting to
get
back to where the hyperlink was from my bookmark/hyperlink destination.
I tried the two different key combinations (alt + left arrow, shift + F5)
and they took me to different places in my document and in other
documents.
Sometimes they took me to where I wanted to go, other times they didn't.
So
it seems like they work by a different logic than "go back to where you
were
before following the hyperlink" but I can't quite tell what that logic is!
Does anyone else?
Any other ideas about how to get back to the place the hyperlink launched
from?
thanks

I have created many hyperlinks to launch to other locations within the

Word 2003 document. However, I have two complications. First, in order
to
launch the hyperlink I must right click and then select €śopen hyperlink€ť
from
the pop-up menu. How do I arrange for the hand icon to appear with its
finger pointing at the hyperlink? If I could make the hand appear then
I
would just have to click on the hyperlink to launch it. Second, I dont
see
any method that would allow me to return to the original hyperlink once
the
referenced section is viewed. To make a €śreturn to€ť hyperlink at the
referenced section will not meet my needs because I often have multiple
hyperlinks throughout the document launching to a single section, and it
would not be expedient to locate multiple €śreturn to€ť hyperlinks next to
a
single referenced section. Is there a way to allow a reader to return
easily
to the original hyperlink?
