At work, (I prepare medical transcriptions), Word pops up a demographic
screen. With the kind help of some of the people here, I have managed to put
together a macro that goes into that demographic screen, which is in
continuous break section 1, copy some information, and assign it to
Autocorrect entries. We enter text into continuous break section 2 only. The
document opens in section 2, and the macro starts out by typing in these
characters: <>, jumping to section 1 to do its magic, returning to the <>
characters in section 2, and then deleting them. The object of the exercise
is to put the cursor back exactly where it had been before the macro ran.

A slight problem is that when it goes back to the marker in section 2, that
part is now at the top of the screen. In other words, the view port has
changed. Is there a way of having it return to the <> marker, erase it, and
have the viewpoint at the same section of the screen? For example, if the
cursor was at line 15 when it typed out the <> marker, before the rest of the
macro ran, at the end I would like it to return to the marker, delete it, and
then reposition that back to line 15.

I hope this is clear.

Regards,

Alan
