Word 2013 Shift + F5 Go back not working

Stefan Blom · #1 12-22-2013, 06:08 AM

Within a document, within a Word session, Shift+F5 should let you move between the most recent edit points. The shortcut no longer works reliably after you save, close and reopen the document.

MVP Graham Mayor has suggested the following set of macros to fix the problem:

Code:

Sub FileSave()
On Error Resume Next
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, name:="OpenAt"
ActiveDocument.Save
End Sub

Sub FileSaveAs()
On Error Resume Next
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, name:="OpenAt"
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("OpenAt") = True Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("OpenAt").Select
End If
End Sub

Store the macros in the Normal template. For assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.
