Some commands not working in *.docx that work in *.doc
Word 2007 SP1
Further to my post earlier today on embedding linked graphics, it appears that there are other issues with *.docx files. For example, the Help says that you can use SHIFT+F5 to return to the last place you were at when you saved your document. This works fine in Word 2003, and works fine for Word 2007 documents saved as *.doc files. But it doesn't work for *.docx files. Can anyone point me to a list of things that DON'T work in *.docx files in Word 2007? I've found at least three today, and am wondering why this format is the recommended one when so many things just don't work in it. |

Some commands not working in *.docx that work in *.doc
Hi Rhonda from WA,
Shift F5 does work in 2007 files. As always has been the case there are instances when Shift F5 doesn't work. Hope this helps. www.docsliveonline.com "Rhonda from Western Australia" . com wrote in message ...

Some commands not working in *.docx that work in *.doc
Hi Jules
Can you give me examples of these 'cases'? I have exactly the same document I created in Word 2007. It is saved as test.docx file and as test.doc file. I can go to a place in both documents and save and close each from there. When I open the test.doc file, the SHIFT+F5 command works, but if I do exactly the same on exactly the test.docx file, SHIFT+F5 does NOT work.

Some commands not working in *.docx that work in *.doc
Rhonda it appears to only work on Active Document not when doc is
saved/closed and reopened. But SHIFT F5 and ALT CTRL Z are mapped to the keyboard as defaults. You could use a macro to compensate. "Rhonda from Western Australia" . com wrote in message ...

The VBA is
Application.GoBack and visit http://word.mvps.org/faqs/AppErrors/GoBackFix.htm for more information on a solution. "Jules" wrote in message ...

Some commands not working in *.docx that work in *.doc
Rhonda I just found a conversation with Jay Freedman MVP that seems to
acknowledge it is a bug in Word 2007 on document close. I use my own bookmark/macro function on close so doc close does not bother me and when doc is open I use Shift F5. Hope you find a workable solution.. "Rhonda from Western Australia" . com wrote in message ... Hi Jules Can you give me examples of these 'cases'?

Some commands not working in *.docx that work in *.doc
Hi Rhonda,
The Shift+F5 works if you save the file in .doc format in Word 2007. It does not work if you save in .docX/.docM format. There does not appear to be a provision in the specification for the new file format to store that value/location of the prior 'jump points'. There are some known issues, but as in previous versions it's more of articles in the MS Knowledge base http://support.microsoft.com for individual ones and for sites such as http://mvps.word.org and others that address specific cases rather than trying to keep a list, as many of the items that don't work can be either (a) situational [specific configurations/actions], that wouldn't apply to a lot of folks or (b) work differently in a newer version rather than just in this one ============== "Rhonda from Western Australia" . com wrote in message ...
