open at a specific word

[Guest]

I would like to open Word documents and templates at a specific word rather
than having to scroll to it.

 

[Tony Jollans]

And what qualities might this word have that would give Word a fighting
chance of identifying it?

The last word you typed last time you edited the document?
Always the same word, or a word you somehow want to pass as a parameter?
The first word on the third page? The seventeenth word in the document?

You get the general idea; please post a little more detail on what you're
trying to achieve.

Enjoy,
Tony

The first word in the second line.
The last edit point.
Thanks

To return to the last edit point, see

Quite honestly, I don't think it's worth the effort to get to the first word
on the second line but you could do it with an autoopen macro which moved
the cursor down 1.

Enjoy,
Tony

If you want to go to the last edit point, press Shift+F5 (the GoBack
command). To have this happen automatically for all documents, include
this macro in Normal.dot:

Sub AutoOpen()
Application.GoBack
End Sub

If you find that this isn't working, you may need a fix in the way the
recent-edit information is stored -- see
