How do I open a document to the last page read (not page 1)?
I have a forty page document (it's a communication log for each month) and
every time you open it, it opens to page one. Is there a way to have the document open to the last page viewed, so that you don't have to scroll down to the current date? I know I've seen documents that do that, I'm just not sure how to save it so that this happens. |

How do I open a document to the last page read (not page 1)?
Word does not save to the last page viewed (unlike Excel files or some other
programs). If you need to go to the very end of the document, press CTRL+End after opening. If you need to go somewhere in the middle, you can use a method like mine, if you wish: I have a macro that sets a bookmark at the insertion point and a MacroButton field at the top of the document to take you to the book mark the next time you open the doc.

You can go to the last *edit* point with Shift+F5, but this won't
necessarily be the last page *viewed.* As Ed suggests, you can set a bookmark. -- Suzanne S.
