How do I get the cursor to return to previous position using key
Many programs allow the user to return to the previous position in a document
without liftinig the hand from the key board or needing to add bookmarks. This feature is very helpful and time effective when cutting and pasting material in documents. Does word have such a feature. |

Shift+F5 will take you, in turn, to the last three editing points.

return cursor to previous position
Shift+F5 worked for years on my Word 2003. Now that I'm that program on a Mac
with Parallels that doesn't work. This is the single most important command missing in this environment. how can I fix this? thanks "Suzanne S.

return cursor to previous position
Since this seems to be a Mac-specific question, your best bet is to ask it
in a Macword NG (see http://www.microsoft.com/mac/communi...id=newsgroups), but if you have something comparable to Tools | Customize | Keyboard, you might check to see if the GoBack command is listed; if so, you can assign a keyboard shortcut. -- Suzanne S.

return cursor to previous position
Great help, in an unexpected way. Using Word through Parallels it's still
heavily rooted in Windows, so the absence of a comparable fix through the Mac system preferences was no problem. Following your lead about a GoBack command under Customize| Keyboard I found the Ctrl-Alt-Z command for that and programmed it in as a keyboard macro and it works perfectly. It's not quite as instantaneous as Shift+F5 but it gets the job done. Parallels users take note. Thanks, Suzanne. "Suzanne S.

If there was already a keyboard shortcut assigned, why did you need a macro?

It depends what you mean by "previous position" and what you did since you were in that last position... Have you tried SHIFT-F5 to return to the last edited point. It cycles between the last three edited spots. |
