Go back to page that was last opened in Word

Hello:

Anyone know if Word 2007 has an option to go to the particular page in a
document that I was on when I last opened the document? For example, if I
was reading p.12 of SomeFile.doc yesterday and then opened up SomeFile.doc
today, I want to be able to hit a shortcut key and go to p.12 automatically.
I searched help, but I didn't see anything there, probably because I didn't
put in the correct search phrases. Thank you.

You can put a bookmark on the page you want to open to. Then write a macro
to
select the bookmark when the document opens (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/DocumentEvents.htm).

It looks like I'd need to do this for each document. If that's the case,
then it's not worth my time to do that. Thanks.
