Word moves to end of doc on open

[Kevin B]

I vaguely remember a setting that moves the focus to the last edit point in a
document when the file is opened, but I can't remember what it's called or
how to turn it off.

Or am I having a WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS flashback?

Thanks ahead of time...

There is no *automatic* feature unless you program an AutoOpen macro to execute
the command.

Manually you can press Ctrl+End when the document opens.

Thanks for the reply Jay. The issue that I'm having is with a PowerBuilder
application that assembles Word documents based upon user selected criteria.
It then outputs the finished Word file to a directory of the user's choice.
However, when the user opens their copy of the document the insertion point
and the focus is at the end of the document, which is where the last
bookmarked paragraph would have been inserted by the PowerBuilder app.

It's not fatal, but you know how end users can get finicky about anything
out of the ordinary.

Thanks again, I'll post back if I find a solution, or determine that our end
user's are abusing controlled substances.

Since the cursor is going to the place where the last "edit" (by the
PowerBuilder app) was done, it's also possible that the GoBack command is being
executed. Manually that's Shift+F5, or it could be in an AutoOpen macro or on
the command line (as a /mGoBack switch appended to the end of the command).
