Default Having documents open at leaving off point rather than the beg

After reading Suzannes post, I found some posts from 2008 stating that
Shift+F5 does not work in Word 2007. I may have read that earlier and
forgotten about it. Anyway, it works here - and I cannot explain why. I have
tried both closing the document and exiting Word - and I can still go to the
last editing point using Shift+F5 when reopening the document.

I just tried it myself and couldn't get it to work. I saved the document,
closed it, reopened and pushed shift/f5 and nothing happened.

I made a minor test in Word 2007 before I posted the Shift+F5 solution and it
worked here. I just tested with more documents now and it also worked...

Shift+F5 regrettably doesn't work that way in Word 2007. It works as long as
a document is open, but not when it is closed and reopened.

Press Shift+F5 when you have opened the document. It should bring you to
the
last editing point.

I am hoping this is a simple and easy question, but how do I set Word to
open
my document where I left off typing rather than opening at the beginning
each
time? I have the 2007 edition. Thanks!
