Word 2002 and 12 month calendar template

[Guest]

I have one of the 12 month calendar templates that I downloaded from
Microsoft. I update this calendar a couple times each week. The problem is
that when I click on the file to open it, the cursor is at the first position
in January. Therfore, I always have to scroll down to the month and day I
need to make a new entry.

Is there not a way to have the document open with the cursor set at the
point where I made my last change??

There's a built-in command in Word called (IIRC) Application.GoBack().
The default keyboard shortcut is SHIFT-F5.

So, when you open the document and hit that combination, you should be
taken there. You can also include the command in an AutoMacro saved in
the template.

Thanks your reply was very helpful. You said>>>"You can also include the

Can you tell me exactly how to do that?

Hi William

I'm not (really/at all ) a programmer, and the question is: how much
experience do you have with macros yourself?

You can find examples of the code in most threads listed here:

To get an introduction to Auto-Makros in Word, I would read up (where
else? ;-)) here:
