Opening Word in last view mode
To make this more searchable for others, the phrase often used is "pick up where you left off."
I remember doing something with Macros many years ago to ensure I could always return to the last place I was in a file. It's 100% MANDATORY for an editor to be able to return to the last place edited.
I'm on Mac, so nothing I'm seeing here or in links matches up. Somehow I miraculously found a way to make DEVELOPER appear in my "ribbon" but I don't see anything like what is described.
No "create" button. For non-techies, this is ultra advanced. I just want to open my files where I last edited. Any tips for a poor, dumb editor who just wants to use Word in a logical way?
If you want to try the macros, you can do the following: Click the Visual Basic button on the Developer tab to display the Visual Basic Editor. You should be able to paste in the code from my previous reply into a module in the Normal project (= the Normal template). Sorry, I do not have a Mac so I can't provide specific instructions. I also do not know if the macros work flawlessly in Word for Mac.
Whoa!
Things in Mac look different from your image, but I just copy/pasted your code, & so far it looks like that is the magic formula, even for Macs!!!!!!
THANK YOU!
