opposite of go back

[Jim]

Is there a macro command that is the opposite of go back in word

If i navigate a way from a spot using the "go back" command is there a
way to go forward like in a web browser with a long history?

The following may do what you want:

Go back:
WordBasic.WebGoBack

Go forward:
WordBasic.WebGoForward

I use Shift+F5, which is Application.GoBack. Per Word 2003's help:
"Moves the insertion point among the last three locations where
editing occurred in the active document (the same as pressing SHIFT
+F5)."

Note the "last three locations."

Also, if you follow links (e.g., click on a TOC entry to go to some
heading), Alt+Left Arrow (e.g., IE's Back button) takes you back to
the link and Alt+Right Arrow (e.g., IE's Fwd button) takes you back to
the link's target. You can use Word's Web toolbar.

I use Word 2003.

The two VBA commands I listed are actually the commands executed by Forward
and Back in the Web toolbar.

The commands will work in Word 2007???

Yes. Have you tried it?
But you cannot go forward unless there is something to go forward to, i.e.
you must have performed a go back operation first.
