Re: Do documents have to open at the beginning in Word 2004?

As a follow-up, I just tried the same experiment in Word 2003 with the same
result - Shift+F5 retraces the last *4* edits. I could have sworn that it
was *5* once upon a time.

I don't really use it to the full extent - seldom back up more than 2
positions. Out of curiosity I just gave it a shot by simply going to one
spot after another and entering a digit from 5-1 at each stop. In my case
it
took me from 1>2>3>4 but not back to 5 (original starting point). Instead
it
just looped me back to 1 & back through the *4* most recent.

I guess it's still worth mentioning that Browse By can be set to Browse by
Edits enabling the same navigation by way of the dbl arrow buttons. It
works
the same way [understandably, as it's tied to the GoBack command, I
assume].

Hi Bob:

Did you catch the erudite Monsieur Huggan's new bug?

I think he's working on a PPC, and there, if you set five positions, it
"forgets" position 2. I am working on Intel, and for me it seems able to
remember only four!

A wee insect, methinks...

Hi Bob:

Technically, it remembers the last five locations, but it "saves" only
the
most recent of them.

So a freshly-opened document will have only one "previous editing
location"
in it. But as soon as you start working on it, Word will remember the
last
five places you've been.

Cheers

Just to expand on John's post, the feature "remembers" the last 5 (I
believe) edit locations, so you can use the command successively to
step
backward - it also remembers those locations while the file is
actually
closed, so the next session you can return to right here you left off
in
the
previous session.

You might also want to explore the Browse By feature located at the
bottom
of the vertical scroll bar. The round button between the sets of
double
arrows gives you a palette of 12 browse by options.
