shft f5 in word 2007

[kr]

hi. i've sent a note about this before and have seen many others asking the
same thing. is there any way to get shft+f5 working again in word 2007? i
work on long documents for months at a time, and i used to use shft+f5 pretty
much every day to go right to where i left off the previous day. having a
keystroke that takes me right to my last edit is incredibly useful. even
after a year of using word 2007, i'm still frustrated that this feature from
2003 is gone. thanks.

You can easily work around the problem with a few simple macros stored in
the normal template. These intercept the save and saveas routines to insert
a bookmark at the cursor position and locate the cursor at that bookmark (if
present) when the document is next opened. If you already have macros with
these names, incorporate the code in those macros.

Sub FileSave()
On Error Resume Next
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, name:="OpenAt"
ActiveDocument.Save
End Sub

Sub FileSaveAs()
On Error Resume Next
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, name:="OpenAt"
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
'Add filename and path to title bar
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

I have added a couple of optional extra lines in the following (and one in
the previous macro) -

Sub AutoOpen()
'add filename and path to title bar
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
'turn on table grid line display
ActiveWindow.View.TableGridlines = True
If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("OpenAt") = True Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("OpenAt").Select
End If
End Sub

to ensure that gridlines are always displayed and to put the filename and
path in the Word title bar.

Having been successfully using this macro cluster for several months
(and having been unable to find it by searching the google groups
archive), I would recommend deleting the line "ActiveWindow.Caption =
ActiveDocument.FullName" -- because in addition to showing the full
pathname in the window's title bar, it means that when windows are
minimized (to the bottom of your screen), every little label is
exactly the same: the first few characters of the pathname, beginning
with C:.

Note that in order to install the macros, you follow the instructions
in the link at the bottom of the message.

If you hover the mouse over a document on the Windows taskbar, the full name
of any minimised document is revealed. Those who work with multiple folders
and assorted drive or network locations would find the value of having the
path in the title bar far outweighs not having the name immediately apparent
in the task bar, but each to his own. A bigger problem is having enough
space in the title bar to display long path names - but even that is not
insurmountable.

I don't suppose you could get the path names to be "right-justified,"
could you? so that their ends rather than their beginnings appeared in
those two places?

(I've just been typing Hebrew, Arabic, and Syriac and having fights
with tabs and spaces. Strange things happen at the interface between R-
L and L-R bits of text.)

I can imagine the difficulties with assorted languages, but unfortunately
not.
