Under Word Options|Customize, you can add both the Back and Forward arrows to the QAT. The arrows are green in colour.



You may need to select the 'Commands not in Ribbon' or 'All Commands' option under 'Choose commands from' before you'll be able to see them in the commands list.

And that, that -- THAT is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million (and a half).

Shift+F5 will take you back to your previous cursor point location. Of course, if your cursor wasn't at the hyperlink, you could find yourself several pages earlier or something.

This did not work in the sample I am using. The problem with adding the "Back" arrow to my screen is that the end user quite likely won't have that in place, and it won't travel with the document.

Perhaps this is part of the problem, but I am using Word 2007 in a Win7 environment. I will probably save the finished document in Word 1997-2003 version, but Win7 is the only OS I work with now. My objective is to make it possible for the end user of my document to return to the jump-off point. Might it be that I should build a macro into the document that has a hotkey attached? If so, I have no idea how to build such a macro.
