Open document with the cursor at saved location

Can you save a Word document (Word XP) so that the cursor is positioned in
the same location it was when the document was saved. I work with some large
documents and when editing them have to clode them from time to time. It is a
real pain to have to find the exact paragraph I was editing everytime I
reopen the doc.

When you reopen the document, press Shift+F5.

If it doesn't work, you need to apply the fix from
