code for go back button

[Gail]

I have a hyperlink that takes users to a certain spot in my Word document. I
then want the user to be able to click on a button and Go Back to the spot
they just navigated from. I do not want to use the "Go Back" button on the
"Web" toollbar - I want to create my own button. I have created the button
but I am having trouble with the code to go back - here is what I have:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
onClick = history.go(-1)
End Sub

Can someone please help!

There's no logical reason not to use the Back button from the Web toolbar.
If you want it on another toolbar, that's as simple as opening the Customize
dialog and holding down the Ctrl key while you drag the button to its new
location (the Ctrl key makes it copy rather than move the button).

If you're just interested in building the button and macro to see how, then
the code you need is

Application.GoBack
