Open the document, and press Shift+F5 to go to the location of the last
edit in the document.

Thanks.

Can you set Word to do this automatically when you load the file?

Huck,

Put the following line in an AutoOpen macro:

But note that if you put this macro in a document (rather than a template)
you will get a macro prompt on opening the document, which will require a
lot more time/clicks than just pressing Shift+F5.
