Word 2007 Shift F5
I read in a book that the Shift F5 remembers the last 3 locations where text
was edited. It also stated ..."This setting is persistent, too. When you open a document, if you want to retun to the last location you were editing, press Shift + F5." I press Shift F5 before I cLose the document and it returns me to the last 2 locations that were edited -not 3. Also, when I open the document, pressing Shift F5 did nothing. Any comments? -- Leah L.

Word 2007 Shift F5
Unfortunately, Shift+F5 does *not* work on opening a document in Word 2007.

Word does remember three locations, including the one you were at when you first press Shift+F5. Continuing to press Shift+F5 three or more times should cycle among the three locations. In Word 2007, the mechanism for saving the last location in the document file on closing is broken. In previous versions, the file stores a bookmark named \PrevSel1 (see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/GoBackFix.htm). Apparently when the code to write the new docx file format was designed, someone forgot to require the storage of this bookmark, so there is no information in the reopened document about where to return to. It would probably be possible to write a set of macros to store and retrieve the bookmark correctly, but I haven't seen it yet. The Microsoft development team knows about this bug (I told them myself, more than a year ago), so let's hope it gets fixed in an update. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Word 2007 Shift F5
Jay,
Thanks for your postings on the Shift+F5 Word2007 bug. You have tracked this one for more than a year. Is there an MS official list of bugs and their status? I found more info on other sites than on the MS site on bugs like this! If MS knows about the bug it would only be fair that they post a status somewhere!.

Word 2007 Shift F5
Hi Jaime,
There is no comprehensive, official _public_ list of known bugs. There is an internal bug database, but it's available only to Microsoft employees (which I'm not, nor is any MVP). The only official publications about bugs are the ones that make it into the KnowledgeBase, and those articles never say anything about status other than "this is a known issue", "there is a hotfix", or "this is fixed in Service Pack xyz".
