When documents reopen, cursor is in same place when last closed.
In Word, I wish that when I reopen a document, the editing cursor jumps to
exactly where it was when I last closed the document. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Respectfully, I disagree. I see my request as similar to the person who
wants spell-checking on the fly. One could say 'just press F7' to spellcheck, but I don't want to have to do that. I want it to check my spelling automatically. And I want to open a document just where I left it. "Anne Troy" wrote: Open the document and hit Shift+F5. ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com Check out the NEWsgroup stats!

To do that, you need to add a macro to your Normal.dot template or
another global template. The macro name 'AutoOpen' is special; it runs whenever you open an existing document. This is the macro you need (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed): Sub AutoOpen() Application.GoBack End Sub Depending on your version of Word, you may have to add another macro to make sure the last location is saved when you close Word; see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/GoBackFix.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

With respect, (once again) I don't want a kludge or workaround. and I can't
be bothered with a macro. I'm moderately experienced and I couldn't be bothered to install a macro (I've tried in the past, and I've never bothered to remember them, more trouble than they are worth), so what hope for the dozen other people with whom I work, and who know even less. :-) I'm simply saying this should be built into Word (and any other document editing program). When I open a document in Word it remembers the zoom level and the type of display (e.g. page layout, normal or outline). So why can't it simply remember the point at which I left off editing the document? It's not much to ask of Microsoft (or any other company, although I get the feeling that Microsoft listen more than most).

When documents reopen, cursor is in same place when last close
With respect, although I can see that it would be valuable to have this as
an option, I would not want this behavior for most of the documents I open. For one thing, it would result in the behavior you see in Excel, viz., that if you open a document just to look at it and move the insertion point, you are prompted to save it on closing. We already have enough questions/complaints from users about being prompted to save documents when they have just opened them and want to close them without making any changes. In any case, I don't think Shift+F5 is that burdensome. If you use Word at all effectively, I'm sure you manage to remember quite a few other keyboard shortcuts. -- Suzanne S.
