I haven't played with this long enough to be sure, but this may be the
result of a bug that's been there since Word 2000. See if
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/GoBackFix.htm helps.

Use the instructions in http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you
need them, and note that the template in Word 2007 is named Normal.dotm
instead of Normal.dot.

I've seen that article before, but it's a bit beyond me. I will print them
both out and see if I can figure it out. thank you.

I do find it odd though that if I open a document created in Office 2003,
Shift+F5 will work - it finds the last place I edited the doc.; but it won't
work in newly created documents of 2007.

Hi Jay
I don't mean to sound like an idiot, but I am not having any luck
implementing those instructions. I thought I had successfully done it,
perhaps I did, but Shift+F5 still does not work to find the last place worked
in a newly opened document. I have never had a problem with any earlier
versions of Word (97, 2000, XP & 2003).

Do you have a keyboard with alternative functions for the F keys? Maybe you
have the wrong fkey setting?

Good suggestion, but already checked to be sure I was on Standard.
