Word should allow open document to last page viewed.

[CHARLIE]

This is basic. How can a program that handles huge documents not allow a
person to automatically reopen a document to the last page viewed. This
should be an option. Basic.

Word does allow it. Basic.

Use Shift+F5 on opening.

Tony Jollans was telling us:
Tony Jollans nous racontait que :

Word does allow it. Basic.

Use Shift+F5 on opening.

I thought this was for last "edited" place, not last "viewed page"?

Anyway, I doubt that the people who post these suggestions actually follow
up on them... Why are these suggestion re-routed to theses groups is a
mystery to me... : -)

You are correct, of course.

Last viewed place could be difficult as one could have scrolled without
moving the insertion point, or be 'viewing' a non-active pane, perhaps.

Hi Tony,
hi Jean-Guy,

quite quiet here right now,
Sunday, 12:31, Central European Time

Last viewed place could be difficult as one could have scrolled without
moving the insertion point, or be 'viewing' a non-active pane, perhaps.

Yes,

so any ideas on getting programmatically
the page numbers of the currently displayed pages,
at least the first one, like in the status bar?

Hi Helmut,

I'm not sure about page number - and I guess that depends on view/background
repagination etc but it might be possible to save some information about the
view (verticalpercentscrolled etc.) and reinstate it on open.

I guess in theory, everything about the view (that's available to VBA) could
be saved on close but I'm not sure how you would be able to adjust for
different options on next open (window size, view, show hidden text, field
codes, etc) which might make a difference.

I don't know, and can't see, anything which tells VBA what is actually
visible on screen.

follow up on them... Why are these suggestion re-routed to theses
groups is a mystery to me... : -)

One idea was that MS would reply on the newsgroups, but they set the hurdle
to something like 10 "I agree" posts... and new suggestions come in so fast
that I haven't seen that number reached.
Also MS might be backpedalling, since the long blurb you see when you click
on "Why should I rate a post?" doesn't mention MS responses.

On the whole I still prefer suggestions in the newsgroups since at least
someone will see/read them (even if noone from MS), and often the problem is
solved here for the poster. A mail to MSWish would ever achieve that.
MSWish seems to be a dead letterbox... I never got any reaction or follow-up
question on the many suggestions and bug reports made to MSWish.
