Opening a document

[Claudia Fuqua]

I know this probably a simple task, I just can't seem to
find it ... I have a huge document I'm working on ... When
I open it, I'd like it to open where I left off ...

Please tell me this is an easy fix ...

Thanks ... CJ Fuqua

It's not an easy fix. You could write an AutoClose macro that sets a
bookmark to the current selection, and an AutoOpen macro that goes to that
bookmark. But a post-it note stuck to the monitor, with the page number
written on by hand is probably easier.

Pressing Shift+F5 as soon as you open the document will take you back to the
last editing position.

Word automatically sets bookmarks at the last three edits. You can go back
to them using Shift+F5.

This doesn't seem to work with my documents. Will it only work if you have
"Track Changes" clicked on?

The GoBack command is flaky. See "WD2000: GoBack Method Switches to Another
Document" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=212698
