Shortcut Key (or Macro) to Return to Endnote insertion point
I use Word's built-in shortcut key (Ctrl-Alt-D) to insert an endnote. Is
there a way to use a keyboard entry to return to the endnote insertion point when finished typing the endnote? It would eliminate having to grab the mouse, hoverin over the endnote number, double clicking on it, and then returning to the keyboard. I tried to write a macro using the Home key to return to the start of the endnote, Ctrl-right arrow to highlight the endnote number, but then I'm stuck because the next step is to double click on the number, and macros won't record mouse clicks except in menu items. Thanks. -- Jim (a.k.a. ORTNPALMS) |

Thanks. Shift+F5 (the GoBack command) will work. It remembers the last three edit locations. When you finish typing the endnote, the one of those previous edit locations should be where you did the insert unless you did a lot of jumping around within the endnote. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

And if you're working in Normal view, you can use Alt+C to close the endnote
pane (provided you don't have Acrobat installed; unfortunately, its Acrobat Comments menu item usurps the shortcut). -- Suzanne S.
