shift+f5 not working in word 2007

[kr]

i see that someone else has reported this problem, but unfortunately, i'm not
having the same magical result that he did. in word 2003, i could open an
existing document, press shift+f5, and be taken to the last change i had made
in the doc. this was very useful since i spend months working on long
documents. i upgraded to word 2007, and this feature no longer works. any
chance of getting this feature working again?

I replied to a similar query recently as follows:

I understand the function present in earlier versions to quickly go to the
last edit point is missing from Word 2007. You can work around it easily
enough with a couple of macros in the normal template e.g.

Sub OpenAt()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="OpenAt"
End Sub

Added to a keyboard shortcut or to a button on the QAT, when run it will
insert a bookmark at the cursor position called OpenAt. Or you could
incorporate the command line in a macro to intercept the Save and Save as
functions to mark the last cursor position before saving the document.

The following macro will check for that bookmark and select it if present
when a document is opened.

Sub AutoOpen()
If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("OpenAt") = True Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("OpenAt").Select
End If
End Sub
