Aha!
But that doesn't give me the option to go to more than one spot, the way the Alt-Tab menu allows. I'd sometimes like to cycle around three or four spots. But thanks again for the info. (That should help with recovering from accidental transfers to the start or end of the document, something else I requested help for elsewhere in this batch of suggestions.)

Help states, "Microsoft Word keeps track of the last three locations where
you typed or edited text." And it suggests using Shift+F5 to access that power. I do usually use Help. This is a rare visit here by me, and what I've posted haven't been questions but suggestions. The inanities in these threads (with one exception) haven't been mine. Despite the availability of Shift-F5, I think my suggestion is a good one. First, there might be half a dozen locations within a large document (I'm working on a hundred-pager at the moment) that I might be regularly visitng--in some cases I mightn't have entered text there on my last visit (via Ctrl-G), but just checked what was written. (So shift-F5 wouldn't have made note of it, but Ctrl-G would have.) It would be convenient to be able to have access to Word's memory bank of more than three locations. Second, I'm not yet mostly a keyboard-shortcut user--and many people are not. I read pages 40-42 of the Word Inside Out guide and realized I'd only remember half of them. Since I'm in the habit of using Ctrl-G to navigate the document, it's more intuitive for me, and I suspect for other users like me, to be able to "do it all" within our present mode of working, and not have to switch modes. I think it wouldn't be an imposition on MS to incorporate this feature, since there is free real estate at the right spot in the box and page numbers wouldn't take much space.

Great--"Just in time to miss the boat!" (I've read the very positive
comments on the interface in Office 2007 in the latest "PC World" and look forward to it.) But it's possible that a few of my suggestions haven't been "overtaken by events," in which case I hope MS will consider them.

If you really want to have an impact on Office 2007, then you should get
the beta version (preferably on another computer as betas shouldn't be installed on a production machine). Once you have it, install the send a smile tool and send frowns on your issues to MS. Everything you send via this tool will be read by the Office beta team. I honestly doubt that suggestions you submit here will have any influence on Office 2007. For more info about the tool and how the feedback is used, see http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archiv...23/644160.aspx Btw, I did look at your suggestions in Word 2007. I couldn't find any changes on top of what you have already been told was incorporated into 2003. In terms of submitting different threads or not: It is better to submit different threads if the issues are different. In your case, it would have made sense to group all the once related to the insert bookmark dialog and all the ones related to the go to dialog. Or, alternatively, if you wanted to use separate threads, then they should have been truly separate. That means, someone should have been able to read one post and get the entire context. You posted one sentence suggestions that even started in the subject line without giving any context. A good suggestion contains the full suggestion and context as well as a statement why this would be better than the current behavior. 13 one sentence suggestions that are based on the assumption that the person reading them reads all the others as well just isn't well received by the volunteers reading and replying here. In addition, Microsoft will probably discard them because they are not detailed enough, nor give any motivation/rationale for the change. If you use the Send-A-Smile tool after you installed 2007, I would highly suggest to send detailed suggestions with a long explanation as to why you would like to see those changes. Simply keep in mind that what seems obvious to you, is probably not obvious at all to the person reading your suggestion.

You (Patrick Schmid) wrote, €śif you wanted to use separate threads, then they
should have been truly separate. That means, someone should have been able to read one post and get the entire context.€ť But they can get the entire context from each. Here are nine of my first ten suggestions (omitting #5, a blooper). All of them are self-contained and self-explanatory: 1. I should be able to edit a Bookmarks name. 2. Add a warning to Insert Bookmark that spaces are not allowed. 3. The Insert Bookmark box shouldnt disappear after adding a bookmark. I sometimes want to add lots of bookmarks at once. 4. Id like to exit the Insert Bookmark box [clarification: after Ive started to create a bookmark name] and then return. 6. Id like bookmarks in Go To in order of Location. I.e., there should be an option to select the preferred arrangement, similar to the two options in Insert Bookmark. 7. In Go To, clicking Page [in the left-hand box] should move the cursor to page-number [in the right-hand box]. 8. The Go To box shouldnt open with only one bookmark item showing. 9. Go Tos drop-down menu of bookmark items should be larger. 10. Id like a button to jump to the end of Go Tos bookmark menu. You (Patrick Schmid) wrote, €śA good suggestion contains the full suggestion and context as well as a statement why this would be better than the current behavior. €¦ Microsoft will probably discard them because they are not detailed enough, nor give any motivation/rationale for the change.€ť I disagree. An elaborate justification is needed only when heading into unknown territory, or when proposing an expensive or disruptive change. What Ive suggested here are just ideas for smoothing over a few rough patches. One or two additional sentences of justification (which Ive provided in all cases) should be enough to explain why these changes would be beneficial. Id feel presumptuous in trying to €śsell€ť such minor features. It would imply that my audience was rather dense. MSs teams are the experts and are much more able than I to decide what would be useful to the majority of users, and how tough each would be to implement. A word to the wise should be sufficient. (And also, its arguable whether certain features Ive suggested actually would be welcomed by a majority of users.

I should just drop this thread, because you apparently don't take any
suggestion from an experienced Office beta tester on how to best communicate your suggestions to Microsoft. The following are the most obvious shortcomings of your suggestions: 1. I should be able to edit a Bookmark's name. Why? 2. Add a warning to Insert Bookmark that spaces are not allowed. Why? 3. The Insert Bookmark box shouldn't disappear after adding a bookmark. I sometimes want to add lots of bookmarks at once. Why is bringing the bookmark dialog back up not a sufficient workaround for you? 4. I'd like to exit the Insert Bookmark box [clarification: after I've started to create a bookmark name] and then return. Meaning? How would you like it to return? What is the disadvantage of the current way it works? 6. I'd like bookmarks in Go To in order of Location. I.e., there should be an option to select the preferred arrangement, similar to the two options in Insert Bookmark. Why? 7. In Go To, clicking Page [in the left-hand box] should move the cursor to page-number [in the right-hand box]. Why? 8. The Go To box shouldn't open with only one bookmark item showing. Why? 9. Go To's drop-down menu of bookmark items should be larger. Why? 10. I'd like a button to jump to the end of Go To's bookmark menu. Why?

(And also, it's arguable whether certain features I've suggested actually would be welcomed by a majority of users. I'd feel presumptuous tearing a passion to tatters in favor of a change, just because I personally would benefit from it.) I honestly don't care whether you agree or not. I was trying to be helpful and explain to you what you need to do if you want your suggestions to have any chance of success. Believe it or not, but a user needs to sell the tiniest change to the MS Office team. Even things that are totally obvious to a user and should be a no-brainer to fix. For example, Outlook 2007 has a dialog where you can enter the address of an RSS feed. If you accidentally put a blank before the address, the RSS feed addition will fail. The fix for this is rather simple and to me this seems to be an obvious one. Yet despite me trying to sell it as best as I could, MS decided not to fix it. Any change you propose costs money and MS has limited resources that they apply selectively. Any suggestion you propose, no matter how small, is in competition for those limited resources with a lot of other suggestions and bug fixes. That's why you get messages here from MVPs who have been complaining about a certain lacking feature (often times a small one) for several Office versions, but still haven't gotten it fixed. So, take my advice or keep assuming that you are the know-it-all about how to best communicate your wishes. I personally don't care whether your suggestions ever make it into Word or not. So please keep submitting suggestions that look like somebody was just too lazy to do a good job. You make it easy for Microsoft, as all they have to do is hit delete.

Shift+F5 is not nearly equivalent in usefulness to what Ive proposed, because:
1. It stores only three past locations, which is not enough to be helpful in many situations. 2. It doesnt keep track of page numbers, but only insertion points. IOW, if I Go To page 32 from page 89, delete three words (or select and shift text, etc.), pressing Shift+F5 would not take me back to page 89, but merely jitterbug me around in page 32. 3. It lacks the ability to go directly to the page that is wanted, jumping over intermediate pages. Instead, it back-tracks through every intermediate location, which is time-consuming and distracting. What Ive proposed is akin to the Alt-Tab navigation method, but within a document. The Alt-Tab navigation method would be severely crippled if had only the capabilities of the Shift+F5 feature. ============== "Jezebel" wrote: Yes it does: press it repeatedly.
