Well, the original question is covered by using the Shift+F5 shortcut, as
suggested by Terry and Dean. Your code deals with the case of going back to
the last edit point in a document that was closed and then reopened, doesn't
it? Maybe I'm missing something?

On further reflection and after re-reading the original question - my
comment does not actually cover what was asked

As implied in the post Stefan quoted you would need three macros to make
it all work transparently

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
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("OpenAt") = True Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("OpenAt").Select
End If
End Sub

The documents will thus always open at the place the cursor was when the
document was saved.

In Word 2007, you can use a macro to return to a specific location in a
document (after it has been closed and reopened). MVP Graham Mayor has
given this solution in a different thread:


********************
You can work around it easily enough with a couple of macros in the
normal
template e.g.

Sub OpenAt()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="OpenAt"
End Sub

Added to a keyboard shortcut or to a button on the QAT, when run it will
insert a bookmark at the cursor position called OpenAt. Or you could
incorporate the command line in a macro to intercept the Save and Save
as
functions to mark the last cursor position before saving the document.

The following macro will check for that bookmark and select it if
present
when a document is opened.

Sub AutoOpen()
If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("OpenAt") = True Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("OpenAt").Select
End If
End Sub

Shft+F5 will toggle to the last 3 places of edit.
It also works after shutdown and reopen, abet only to the last place of
an
edit.
I belive this function was dropped from 2007 but retruned in 2010.
Hope this helps

Hi,

Curser was in page1 of a document. I scrolled to page 5 and selected
an
item
in page 5. Now I want to go to previous location.

Is there a shortcut for doing this?

Thanks!
