Office 10 Word Document Saving

Post by hlewton »

Is it possible to save a Word document at a particular spot within that document so when it is opened again it automatically returns to that spot? If so how and can it be done on a document by document basis so that is doesn't do it for every document? I think this used to be an option but I can't no longer find it. Thanks
Regards,

You can press Shift+F5 after opening a document to return to the last position. To do this automatically, create the following macro in a module in your Normal.dotm template:

Code: Select all

Sub AutoOpen()
    Application.GoBack
End Sub
When you quit Word, it will ask you whether you want to save changes to the global template Normal.dotm. Answer Yes.
Best wishes,
Hans
