Opening a Word File Where You Left Off

One of the confounding things about Microsoft Word is that when you reopen a document you've been working on, it puts you back at the top of the document. This tip shows you how to overcome this dilemma.

One of the confounding things about Microsoft Word is that when you reopen a document you've been working on, it puts you back at the top of the document. Unlike Excel, which takes you to the spot where you left off last time, Word always wants to start you off at the beginning. You can work around this if you press [Shift]+[F5] as soon as the document opens. [Shift]+[F5] is the Go Back shortcut, which cycles you between your four most recent edits during a Word session. But if you can remember to hit it immediately after opening a document, Word will jump to the last thing you changed before saving and closing that document.
