How do I find where I stopped editing a document?

[Shortcut Jane]

In Word 2003, I could use Shift F5 when I opened a document to find where I
left off editing it the last time I opened it. This doesn't seem to work in
Word 2007, at least not consistently. Is there some other menu item or
keyboard shortcut I can use, or are there some circumstances under which
Shift F5 will work?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work in XML (*.docx) documents, only those saved
in Word 97-2003 format.

With a handful of macros stored in the normal template documents wilol
always open with the cursor at the place it occupied when the document was
last saved.. These intercept the save and saveas routines to insert a
bookmark at the cursor position and locate the cursor at that bookmark (if
present) when the document is next opened. If you already have macros with
these names, incorporate the code in those macros.

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
