Word 2004 wont open up on on page it left off on

[Bible John]

I have a 25 page document and everytime I open the file Word always opens up
at the very beginning of the document. This is a huge pain. How can this be
fixed? Thanks..

You will need to set a bookmark in the document before you close it.

Shift + F5 should take you to the point of last edit, but there's a bug in
the function on the Mac, it is cleared when the document is closed.

Sloppy coding, but the bottom line is that the automatic function is broken,
you have to do it manually.

I use the following macros:

Public Sub markSpot()
Selection.BookMarks.Add Name:="macroMarkHere", Range:=Selection.Range
End Sub

Public Sub gotoSpot()
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="macroMarkHere"
End Sub

Sub FileSave()
Call markSpot
ActiveDocument.Save
End Sub

The bottom one intercepts the File Save command and marks the location of
the cursor before the save. Run the middle macro to return to it. You
could add the middle macro to your document open macro if you wanted to.

Cheers

You don't say what you actually want, only what you don't want. But if you
want to go to where you left off, keying Command-Option-z once the document
opens will achieve that. Time taken: less than a second.
