I have the "Go To" function in some small macros. (Control-G.) I'm having a
problem because it moves the cursor to the place I want but leaves the screen
displayed where it was before. It's inconsistent-- sometimes it works. Any
ideas?

Hi Christopher,
What version of Word do you use, and what is the code of the macro?
It does sound like a bug...
As a work-around, you could insert
ActiveWindow.ScrollIntoView Selection.Range
at the end of your macros to scroll the Selection into view.
Regards,
Klaus

Klaus-- Word 2003, Windows XP. I have several routines that would leave the
user in a different place than where he started, which is annoying. So I
plant a bookmark, TempBkmk, and return to it. Below is one of the shortest of
these, which toggles showing and hiding the field codes. As I say, this works
at least half the time, but I don't see what makes it fail.
Sub ToggleShowFields()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="TempBkmk"
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="TempBkmk" ' Return to
original location
End Sub

Yes, that's annoying!! As far as I remember older versions, that behaviour
got worse in recent years.
It happens quite often now that after something I do -- like your toggling
"show field codes", or toggling between Outline and Layout and Normal view,
or other things -- I suddenly I don't see the text I was working on.
My usual (non-macro) way to deal with it is to use Shift+Right, Shift+Left
to bring the Selection into view again.
In your macro, you could use the work-around from my last post, and as long
as your macro doesn't mess with the Selection, you don't need the bookmark:
Sub TestGotoBM2()
ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes
ActiveWindow.ScrollIntoView Selection.Range
End Sub
Regards,
Klaus

Thanks for the suggestions... but I can't make the screen update correctly no
matter how many things I add. I also tried Application.ScreenRefresh, but no
luck. I actually have to manually scroll to find the cursor.

That's weird... So say Shift+RightArrow doesn't bring the Selection into
view either?
I haven't seen that yet.
Could be a driver issue (printer driver, graphics driver)?
You could also start Word in "safe mode" (holding down the Ctrl key while
you start it), to see whether it works then (which would implicate some
template or add-in).
