Returning to the same place in a document--

    What VBA code (or other technique) is necessary to return to the same place in a document when it is opened? In my case, I have several lines of introductory/explanatory remarks, followed by an 'input' table. What I would like to do is have the cursor placed at the first cell in the table every time the document is opened. I know this has probably been discussed before, and is probably trivial, but your help is appreciated. (BTW, I'm using Word 97).


    Thanks, Tom

    Hi Tom,


    1. Place following code in the ThisDocument-module:


    Option Explicit


    Private Sub Document_Open()
    With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Start").Select
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With
    End Sub


    2. Create a bookmark - Start - where You want it.


    3. Save & Close document and the re-open it.


    4. Done!
