When I open a large document how can I move the cursor to the last edit
position? I have 2007 and have saved the document to 97-2003 (doc) and the Shift+F5 still does not work. This was posted by Jay Freedman on 06-16-09 The shortcut is exactly the same -- Shift+F5 is the shortcut for the GoBack command. But in Word 2007's new format (.docx), this won't work immediately after opening the document to return to the last edit from a previous session. Microsoft "forgot" to save the built-in bookmark that the GoBack command uses. It still works if you save the document in Word 97-2003 (.doc) format. -- 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. |

All I can tell you is that it does work here (I just tried again to be
sure). -- 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 for the replay, is there a way that I could send you my file for you to look at?

You can easily work around the problem with a few simple macros stored in
the normal template. These intercept the save and saveas routines to insert a bookmark at the cursor position and locate the cursor at that bookmark (if present) when the document is next opened. If you already have macros with these names, incorporate the code in those macros. Sub FileSave() On Error Resume Next ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, name:="OpenAt" ActiveDocument.Save End Sub Sub FileSaveAs() On Error Resume Next ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, name:="OpenAt" Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show 'Add filename and path to title bar ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName End Sub I have added a couple of optional extra lines in the following (and one in the previous macro) - Sub AutoOpen() 'add filename and path to title bar ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName 'turn on table grid line display ActiveWindow.View.TableGridlines = True If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("OpenAt") = True Then ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("OpenAt").Select End If End Sub to ensure that gridlines are always displayed and to put the filename and path in the Word title bar. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bill G wrote: Jay Thanks for the replay, is there a way that I could send you my file for you to look at?

Thanks for the reply. Macros are something that I have never done before,
and I do not understand them. Where can I go to learn more about them and how to make them?

Did you look at Graham's link "installing macros" at the bottom? Works
like a charm.

I missed that, I'll try it and see if I get in trouble.
