How can I disable the "welcome back" message when a document is re opened?
This ANNOYING message keeps popping up near the section of the scrollbar of the page I was last on. It makes it very annoying when using a tablet and I have to tap the screen every time to get it to stop blocking the view. I have tried following the steps in this guide but to not avail. Looks like I will have to switch to using a third party alternative because MS sucks!

For cross-posting etiquette, please read: A Message to Forum Cross-Posters See Graham Mayor's suggestion for an AutoOpen macro in this thread.[Edit: See following post. This does not work for me.] Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 05-23-2023 at 06:11 AM. |

Note. I tested Graham's suggestion and it does not work, at least on my system. Apparently this feature runs after any AutoOpen macro executes. (I tried also putting a delay into the AutoOpen. That simply delayed the return to the previous editing point but did not stop it.)
I also tried Allen Wyatt's solution in his tips page. I could not get that to do anything either. Ctrl+Home remains a viable workaround. Note, this is not the place to get any changes made in Word nor the attention of developers at Microsoft. This is an independent user-to-user support forum. MS does not see anything you post here. The way to get their attention is through the feedback mechanisms.
