Is there a way to resume editing where I left off.

[Steve Smith]

When I open a document, I'd like it to position me at the point I was
editing it when I saved it and closed the document. Seems like a simple and
very useful thing. I can't find a way to accomplish this through the
preferences.

Is there a way?

Steve,

Key Command-Option-z or Shift-F5.

In open documents, either of these commands rotates successively through the
last four places where text was typed or the insertion point was placed; in
a newly opened document it goes to the last position of the insertion point
before the document was closed.

(Shift-F5 works in both Word for Windows and Word for Mac. But I keep using
Command-Option-z on the Mac because it can be keyed with one hand, and I
need to keep the other hand free to scratch my head, thinking!)
