Quickly jumping to the last edited position in Word

Are you a heavy power user of Microsoft Word? If most of your future best-seller novels consist of just a couple pages in length you probably haven’t come across a major annoyance that your more verbose authors do daily. When opening a document, Word will always position the cursor on the first page of the document. For documents of daily increasing of length, you find yourself jumping to the end of the document – easily dozens of pages away. Annoying, yes; highly inefficient, absolutely! What is somewhat amusing is that Microsoft’s other Office applications don’t suffer from this same oversight – such as Excel.

While there may be a few plausible reasonings behind the decision for Word to behave differently, there is comfort in knowing that there is a rather simple fix. Using the keyboard shortcut Shift+F5 will reposition the cursor to the portion of the document where the last edits occurred. This is actually handy because it doesn’t have to be at the end of the document in question; it’s possible to jump to page 18 on a 93 page document, if that’s where you were last writing.
