Go to end of document as default when opening it

I want to be able to go to the end of a document rather than the beginning,
when the document is opened.

You can accomplish this in several ways. If you want to do this with a
single document, record a macro that captures you pressing Ctrl+End, naming
it AutoOpen, and store it in the document you want to affect.

If you want to do this for all documents, record the macro (same
name/action), and store it in Normal.dot.

Specific instructions:

Tools - Macro - Record new Macro.

Macro name: AutoOpen

Store macro in: current document or Normal.dot, as desired.

Click OK.

Press Ctrl+End.

Click Stop Recording.

Press Shift and click File, then click Save All, saying Yes to saving
changes to the current document and/or normal.dot (if appropriate), when and
if prompted.

I would respectfully submit that it's a lot easier just to press Ctrl+End
when you open the document than to have to click OK to a dialog asking if
you want to enable macros.

I believe that's a new option in Word 2007? In older versions there's no way
to trust macros except in certain folders.

You can right-click the vertical scrollbar and choose "End".

There might be some new options in Word 2003 (don't have an earlier version
to test), and there definitely are some new/better options in Word 2007.
However, in Word 2003, there's: Tools - Macro - Security - Trusted
Publishers tab. "Trust all installed add-ins and templates" and "Trust
access to Visual Basic Project". Enabling both these options [almost always]
prevents me from seeing the Enable Macros? popup for macros I've written,
while still popping up for foreign macros.

Okay, I have the first checked but not the second. The first just covers
macros in documents/templates in the user templates, workgroup templates,
and Word Startup folders (but not in the Office Startup folder).
