How do I make Word open a document to the spot most recently worked on in the
document? Bookmarks are great, but I don't want to open up a dialogue box or
even make a couple keystrokes; just open me up to the last sentence I was
working on when I saved and closed.

G'Day CC,

The easiest thing to do, immediately on opening the
Document, is to press:

SHIFT+F5

OR use the Macro:

Sub FindLastEdit()
'
Application.GoBack
End Sub

Word 'remembers' the last three (3) Edit Locations
so you can apply the method three times to visit the
last three edits.

Click to expand...

When you open the document, press Shift+F5 (the GoBack command).
Pressing it twice more will go back to the previous two edits, then it
will cycle again through the last three edits.

To make this automatic, make a new desktop shortcut to winword.exe.
Open the Properties dialog and edit the Target box. After the final
quote mark, add a space and the command

/mGoBack

An alternative method, needed to combine this feature with
double-clicking a document file in Explorer, is to create a macro in
Normal.dot, name the macro AutoOpen, and place the Application.GoBack
command in it.

If GoBack doesn't work, see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/GoBackFix.htm
 
G'Day again CC,

I forgot to mention the MOST important part....

IF
you place the "Application.GoBack' line
in the "Document_Open()" routine
of the NORMAL template
THEN
every document you open will return to the
Last Edit You Made.

How to do that......

With Word open
Press ALT+F11 (Visual Basic Editor)

Upper left there is an 'Explorer'
Expand the '+' beside "Normal"
Expand the '+' beside "Microsoft Word Objects"
(Under "Normal")
Double-Click "ThisDocument"
(ThisDocument (Code) Window)
Top Left Dropdown
Select "Document"

Top Right Dropdown
Select "Open"

Type the line INSIDE the Document_Open() routine
Private Sub Document_Open()
' You type this line:
Application.GoBack
End Sub

All Done!
