Return to Your Last Three Edits
The Problem:
I'd like to be able to flip back to where I was last working.
The Solution:
Press Shift+F5 one, two, or three times. A fourth press takes you back to the position from which you started.
Tip: When you close a document, Word stores only the last editing location, not the last three; so when you reopen the document, you can use Shift+F5 only once to return to the last editing location. Because of the way that Word 2000 and later versions close files when you exit Word, Word may not save the last editing location in some files. However, if you close your files manually before exiting Word, it will always save the last editing location.
