Having documents open at leaving off point rather than the beginni
I am hoping this is a simple and easy question, but how do I set Word to open
my document where I left off typing rather than opening at the beginning each time? I have the 2007 edition. Thanks! |

Press Shift+F5 when you have opened the document. It should bring you to the
last editing point.

Shift+F5 regrettably doesn't work that way in Word 2007. It works as long as
a document is open, but not when it is closed and reopened. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Lene Fredborg" wrote in message ...

I made a minor test in Word 2007 before I posted the Shift+F5 solution and it
worked here.

I just tried it myself and couldn't get it to work. I saved the document,
closed it, reopened and pushed shift/f5 and nothing happened. "Lene Fredborg" wrote: I made a minor test in Word 2007 before I posted the Shift+F5 solution and it worked here.

Having documents open at leaving off point rather than the beg
After reading Suzannes post, I found some posts from 2008 stating that
Shift+F5 does not work in Word 2007. I may have read that earlier and forgotten about it. Anyway, it works here - and I cannot explain why. I have tried both closing the document and exiting Word - and I can still go to the last editing point using Shift+F5 when reopening the document. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "suiterd" wrote: I just tried it myself and couldn't get it to work.

You're just charmed. g I had that experience with certain other features
in Word 97 and later, but the charm ultimately wore off in Word 2003. Are you using an English or Danish version of Word? Could be that it's only broken in the English version. -- Suzanne S.

Having documents open at leaving off point rather than the beg
g
I am using a Danish version of Word and switch the GUI language between Danish and English as needed using a language pack. Shift+F5 works regardless of the GUI language in use (at least today - I may test it again tomorrow g). The Danish version may be the reason why it works here. However, I find it a bit strange if that is the case. I suppose the Danish and other localized versions are based on the English version and therefore it seems unlikely to me that a bookmark that is missing in the English version reappears in a localized version. But who knows - Word works in mysterious ways€¦ -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Suzanne S.
