Going to last place saved
New to Word2007. Can anyone tell me how to have the document open to the
last place I saved the document? In WordPerfect, all you do is check off a box and a Quickmark will be inserted at that point. Then you can opt to have all documents open to a Quickmark. Is there such a feature in Word? |

There used to be, in versions before Word 2007 -- you could press Shift+F5, the GoBack command, even after closing and reopening the document. This is broken in Word 2007, because (probably due to an oversight) the built-in bookmark \PrevSel1 is not saved in the document file. The GoBack command works only until you close the file, then it's gone. I've posted a bug report to Microsoft. -- 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. |

Thanks! I thought I remembered it in older versions. What a pain. I have to
mark down each page I'm on before I use the Replace or Find feature. Bummer! Hope they fix it pronto. "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ... MJ Schaer wrote: New to Word2007.

Until Microsoft fixes this problem, you can copy the following macros into your normal template (normal.dot (2003 and earlier); normal.dotm (2007) -- they don't work in the same way that SHIFT+F5 works in previous versions of Word; they will place the insertion point at the same location it was positioned when you last closed the document. The first inserts a bookmark at the position of the insertion point (not at the position of the last edit) every time you both issue the command to close a document *and* confirm in the resultant message box that you want to save the document. If you don't save the document when closing it the bookmark will not be inserted or if it was inserted previously it will remain in the previous location. Trap: Saving the document, then closing it and saying you do not want to save the document when prompted will not insert the bookmark or reposition it. You must *not* change either macro name -- AutoClose and AutoOpen. They are reserved for macros that automatically execute when you close any Word document and open any Word document, respectively. Macro #1 Sub AutoClose() 'To insert this bookmark each time, confirm that you want to save the document 'when closing it With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks .Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="lastinsertionpointposition" .DefaultSorting = wdSortByName .ShowHidden = True End With End Sub Macro #2: Sub AutoOpen() ' goes to the bookmark set via the AutoClose macro if it exists, otherwise moves ' ' to the beginning of the document If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("lastinsertionpoin tposition") = True Then Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="lastinsertionpointposition" End If End Sub To learn how to copy macros, read the following: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm "MJ Schaer" wrote: New to Word2007.

Just to clarify one point: GoBack (Shift+F5) does still work in Word 2007,
as long as the document stays open. It's only in the close-and-reopen situation that it fails. MJ Schaer wrote: Thanks! I thought I remembered it in older versions. What a pain.
