Having a Word document open at the end of the document
I am keeping a simple journal in Word. What setting do I use to have it open
at the end of the document so that I don't have to open, then scroll to the end to make additional entries? |

Having a Word document open at the end of the document
Just press Ctrl+End when you open the document. You could create an AutoOpen
macro to do this, but then you'd have to enable the macro every time you opened it, which would be more trouble than just pressing this shortcut. -- Suzanne S.

"You could create an AutoOpen macro to do this, but then you'd have to
enable the macro every time you opened it, which would be more trouble than just pressing this shortcut." Not quite true. If the document was based on a specific template and the template was located in the right place and the macro security settings were configured properly, the macro would run without any user intervention required. In fact, depending on the version of Word, the macro could be in the document itself and still allowed to run automatically if the document was in a trusted location. Having said that, even as a "professional" developer, I wouldn't waste my time creating such a trivial macro; Ctrl+End is still a lot easier. -- Cheers!

Having a Word document open at the end of the document
Trusted locations were introduced in Word 2007. In earlier versions, you'd
have to store the document in the Templates folder for this to work (or, as you say, the macro would have to be in the template the document was based on). -- Suzanne S.

Having a Word document open at the end of the document
While not arguing with the general premise that here a macro is a
sledgehammer to crack a nut, this can be achieved with a couple of lines of vba code in the normal template and work quite transparently. If you add the following lines to an autoopen macro in the normal template (changing the document name as appropriate) the journal will open with the cursor at the end. Other documents will behave normally.

Having a Word document open at the end of the document
Graham,
Conceding that it is just a matter of preference and in keeping with a new naming convention, I would probably use: If ActiveDocument.name = "journaldocname.doc" Then NeedToOpenDocumentAtEndEveryTimeItOpensNailMeetsTh eHammer End If in the AutoOpen macro to call this independent procedu Sub NeedToOpenDocumentAtEndEveryTimeItOpensNailMeetsTh eHammer() ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\endofdoc").Select End Sub -- Greg Maxey - Word MVP My web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Thanks to all the "posters" -- this will work just fine.
