Until Microsoft fixes this problem, you can copy the following macros into
your normal template (normal.dot (2003 and earlier); normal.dotm (2007) --
they don't work in the same way that SHIFT+F5 works in previous versions
of
Word; they will place the insertion point at the same location it was
positioned when you last closed the document.
The first inserts a bookmark at the position of the insertion point (not
at
the position of the last edit) every time you both issue the command to
close
a document *and* confirm in the resultant message box that you want to
save
the document. If you don't save the document when closing it the bookmark
will not be inserted or if it was inserted previously it will remain in
the
previous location.
Trap: Saving the document, then closing it and saying you do not want to
save the document when prompted will not insert the bookmark or reposition
it.
You must *not* change either macro name -- AutoClose and AutoOpen. They
are
reserved for macros that automatically execute when you close any Word
document and open any Word document, respectively.
Macro #1
Sub AutoClose()
'To insert this bookmark each time, confirm that you want to save the
document 'when closing it
With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="lastinsertionpointposition"
.DefaultSorting = wdSortByName
.ShowHidden = True
End With
End Sub
Macro #2:
Sub AutoOpen()
' goes to the bookmark set via the AutoClose macro if it exists, otherwise
moves ' ' to the beginning of the document
If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("lastinsertionpointposition") = True
Then
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="lastinsertionpointposition"
End If
End Sub
