I have a huge document I originally developed in Word 2000. It has a ton of
hyperlinks to other locations in the same document. In Word 2000, after I
clicked a hyperlink, I could click a BACK arrow and return to the hyperlink.
I have now upgraded to Word 2007. The hyperlinks work great going forward,
but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to go back to the original
point in the document. I have searched the help file but can't seem to find
the solution. Does anybody know how to return or go BACK in Work 2007 to the
original point after a hyperlink jump?

Thanks.

Shift+F5 should work, as should Alt+Back.

Herb,

Thanks for your response. The file is used by a couple of other folks who
are not especially computer savvy. In prior versions of Word, there was a
BACK arrow icon. After clicking a hyperlink, one could simply click that BACK
arrow icon and return to the starting point. It was great for users who have
no desire to learn keyboard shortcuts. (If God didn't want us to use a mouse
he wouldn't have created them!) I have looked all through the "ribbon" and
cannot find anything similar. I fear Microsoft has removed this valuable tool.

Again, thanks.

Have you thought of adding the Back button to your QAT?

Hmmm... well, I only see the Back and Forward buttons on the Web toolbar.
So, they're not going to be there all the time, in any case, in Word 2003.
However, in Word 2007, you can make them show up all the time for that
document.

You can add the Back and Forward buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar for
that document. Open the document, then right-click the QAT and choose
Customize QAT. Set Choose command from to All Commands. Set Customize QAT to
"For {current document name}". Click in the left list and tap the B key and
find the Back command. Click Add. Click in the left list, and tap the G key
to move to the bottom of the F commands, look up about 10 commands and click
on the Forward command. Click Add.

Now, when the other folks open that document, the Back and Forward commands
will be at the ready on the Quick Access Toolbar.

Herb,

Thanks. And I have added the BACK button to the QAT. It's just that my QAT
is getting pretty full. It just seems silly to me that Microsoft won't allow
users to set the ribbon up the way the user wants it set up instead of the
way somebody in Redmond thinks it should be set up. There really should be
more flexibility (much more) regarding the ribbon.

Still, thanks for the suggestion.
