how do i set the large doc to open at the spot I last worked on?
I work with very large documents, and find it cumbersome to search for the
spot I was working on when I last closed the document. Older versions of Office products did this automatically...... or was that word perfect? |

If you are using Word 2003 or earlier, you can press Shift+F5 to return to
the last edit point. Unfortunately, this doesn't work in Word 2007. Word has never automatically opened at the last edit point. It may well be that WordPerfect does, or you might be thinking of Excel, which also does. -- Suzanne S.

Unfortunately I am using Word 2007 and Vista (Let's not start that
discussion)- and youre right it doesnt work, but thank you for the tip; it seems to work on documents sent to me by others using Word 2003. I am grateful for your time. Big Hug, Richard "Suzanne S.

That is correct. I works in Word 2007 for .doc format documents, but not for
the new .docx format. It is possible to accomplish the objective in Word 2007 by using a combination of AutoClose and AutoOpen macros. The AutoClose macro would save the last location when the document is closed, and the AutoOpen macro would retrieve the last location when the document is opened. I'd be surprised if someone doesn't have just such macros already written. If they don't volunteer them here, you might ask for guidance in one of the word.vba newsgroups. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "TheDr" wrote in message ...

Herb,
I am using this setup right now: I have a Class module (MyClass1)with this code: Option Explicit Private WithEvents mThisWordApp As Word.Application Private Sub Class_Initialize() Set mThisWordApp = Word.Application End Sub Private Sub mThisWordApp_DocumentBeforeSave(ByVal Doc As Document, SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Selecting.QuickSaveMark End Sub I have code in the Normal Project that initiates the Class when my Word application is launched: Option Explicit Private oMyClass As MyClass Sub AutoExec() SetMyClass End Sub Sub SetMyClass() Set oMyClass = New MyClass End Sub I have these procedures in a standard module of my Normal Project named "Selecting" Sub QuickSaveMark() Dim i As Long Dim oBMs As Bookmarks On Error GoTo Err_Handler Set oBMs = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks On Error GoTo 0 If Not oBMs.Exists("QuickSaveMark_1") Then oBMs.Add "QuickSaveMark_1", Selection.Range Else On Error Resume Next oBMs.Add "QuickSaveMark_5", oBMs("QuickSaveMark_4").Range oBMs.Add "QuickSaveMark_4", oBMs("QuickSaveMark_3").Range oBMs.Add "QuickSaveMark_3", oBMs("QuickSaveMark_2").Range oBMs.Add "QuickSaveMark_2", oBMs("QuickSaveMark_1").Range oBMs.Add "QuickSaveMark_1", Selection.Range On Error GoTo 0 End If ActiveDocument.Variables("QMIndex").Value = "0" Exit Sub Err_Handler: End Sub Sub GoToQM() Dim oVars As Variables Dim pGetValue As String Dim i As Long Set oVars = ActiveDocument.Variables On Error GoTo Err_Handler_1 pGetValue = oVars("QMIndex").Value On Error GoTo 0 i = CLng(pGetValue) i = i + 1 On Error GoTo Err_Handler_2 Select Case i Case Is = 1 ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_1").Range. Select oVars("QMIndex").Value = "1" Case Is = 2 ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_2").Range. Select oVars("QMIndex").Value = "2" Case Is = 3 ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_3").Range. Select oVars("QMIndex").Value = "3" Case Is = 4 ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_4").Range. Select oVars("QMIndex").Value = "4" Case Is = 5 ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_5").Range. Select oVars("QMIndex").Value = "0" End Select On Error GoTo 0 Exit Sub Err_Handler_1: oVars("QMIndex").Value = "0" Resume Err_Handler_2: If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("QuickSaveMark_1") Then ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_1").Range. Select Else MsgBox "A QuickSaveMark reference is not set in this document." End If End Sub Sub ClearQMs() On Error Resume Next With ActiveDocument .Variables("QMIndex").Delete .Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_5").Delete .Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_4").Delete .Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_3").Delete .Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_2").Delete .Bookmarks("QuickSaveMark_1").Delete End With On Error GoTo 0 End Sub I put three buttons on my QAT to set a QuickMark, goto back to a QuickMark and clear the QuickMarks. I just use the QAT to go back to the last QuickMark when a document is opened. That could be set to Shift+F5 or the code could easily be adapapted to goto the last QuickMark when a document is opened. I am pretty satisfied with the code. The only thing I want to revise when I get the time is to not set the Quickmark automatically when I open and modify templates. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.
