"little tricks"

[NormanCohen]

I have received answers to these questions several times
and have resolved to save them to my hard drive several
times. Nonethless, I can't find the answers to here goes

Isn't there a way to start a new session of word (xp) with
the documemnt that the last session was closed with,
preferably at the point of last edit?

Isn't there a windows / word way of editing a small part of
a file, sending it to the desk top and opening a new word
session that way...

Hmmm I like to think I am articulate but I obviously am not

The answer to both questions is yes, I think, but I'm not sure of how to do
the second one; I think it involves something called "scraps." As for the
first, you can create a Word shortcut as follows:

winword /mfile1

For "winword" substitute whatever complete path is given in your existing
shortcut for Word. Enclose the path in quotes; leave the switch outside the
quotes, preceded by a space. As given, this causes Word to open the first
file on the MRU list. You can substitute any other number up to 9 (assuming
your MRU list is this long).

As for the second question:

Select the text you want and next drag it to the desktop.

I don't know the English word for it, maybe 'scraps' indeed.

Scraps is the correct term.

Susan:

Thank you very much for your help. As it develops you are the very
person who has answered "trick" no one for me on several occasions.

the problem is, I don't know how to do what you instructed...how to
substitute the path ( and switch) to a new shortcut.
