How do I open a document to the last page read (not page 1)?

[Guest]

I have a forty page document (it's a communication log for each month) and
every time you open it, it opens to page one. Is there a way to have the
document open to the last page viewed, so that you don't have to scroll down
to the current date? I know I've seen documents that do that, I'm just not
sure how to save it so that this happens.

Word does not save to the last page viewed (unlike Excel files or some other
programs). If you need to go to the very end of the document, press
CTRL+End after opening. If you need to go somewhere in the middle, you can
use a method like mine, if you wish: I have a macro that sets a bookmark at
the insertion point and a MacroButton field at the top of the document to
take you to the book mark the next time you open the doc.

You can go to the last *edit* point with Shift+F5, but this won't
necessarily be the last page *viewed.* As Ed suggests, you can set a
bookmark.
