Office 2004 - WORD problem

[Thomas]

Hello:

I'm sure this is a very simple fix, but I'm stumped - can anyone help?

What do I need to do to get a WORD document to open where I left off,
and NOT at the top of page 1? I have these multi-page documents I am
working on, of which I am interested in opening to the most previous
spot (usually the very last page...)

(In AppleWorks, for example, where I leave the document upon Saving
and Quitting is where that document will Open the next time I open
it....)

I have just started using Office 2004 this week, and cannot find the
answer anywhere (perhaps I don't know where to look...)

Most people take advantage of the GoBack command, and hit the keystrokes for
it on opening. My 2004 seems to have shift-F5 and cmd-opt-z set for GoBack,
I'm not sure which is default.

If you want, you can put the GoBack command in a macro to run on opening
every doc, but it's probably just as easy to hit cmd-opt-z on opening up
every doc. In a doc you have been editing for a while, GoBack should cycle
you through your last three edits.

Are you new to Word, or just 2004? Anyhow, you may find Clive Huggan's Bend
Word to Your Will (200pps of dictionary-style notes on using Word
efficiently) a useful supplement to Help.

If you would like to see a preference to "open all docs at the last point
edited" , you could request it by using Send Feedback under Help.

I dunno about 2004, but just about every Word version for Mac uses the
keyboard shortcut cmd-opt-z to cycle round the last four interesting
places you have been in the document. It lives over close/open, even
Word restarts.

There's no magic to that, by the way; Word places invisible bookmarks in
the document. m.
