You can go back to the last edit with the GoBack command. The keyboard
shortcuts (on my machine at least) for that are Shift+F5 or Alt+Ctrl+Z.
If you want it to happen automatically each time you open a doc, you can add
a short AutoOpen macro to your Normal template:

Sub AutoOpen()
Application.GoBack
End Sub

If you haven't used macros befo
In the menu, go to Tools Macro Macros..., type in AutoOpen as the new
macro's name, click on the Edit button.
Then edit that macro so it looks like the one above.

If you close Word, you may be asked if you want to save the changes to the
global template... Answer "Yes".

Klaus,

I tried your suggestions but neither worked. Someone also suggested using
the Bookmark feature. I might give that a try too. Thanks for offering to
help.

Appreciatively,

Curtis
