How can I get word to open on a specific page? "silas" <silas.NOSPAMprophet[ at ]gmail.com> 6/10/2007 2:08:24 AM Hi, I used Word 2003's Calendar Wizard to create a calendar but each time I open the calendar it starts at page 1 (January) so I either scroll to the month/page I want or use Goto. How can I get the calendar to open on a specific page or at least on the last page on which I entered data. Thanks. silas

If it doesn't work, apply the fix at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/GoBackFix.htm. To simplify this, make a shortcut to the document (right-click it in Windows Explorer and choose Send To > Desktop as shortcut). Then right-click the shortcut icon and choose Properties. In the dialog, edit the Target box to look like winword /mGoBack "<document's path and file name>" where the part in quotes will already be there. Also delete everything from the Start In box and click OK. Now double-clicking the shortcut icon will start Word, open the document, and jump to the last editing position. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Jay, I tried adding 'winword /mGoBack' in the Target box preceding the document path and received this error: "The name 'winword' specified in the Target box is invalid. Make sure the path and file name are correct." I'll try the 'GoBackFix' link next. Thanks. silas

"Herb Tyson [MVP]" <herb[ at ]1x2y3z.xnw> 6/10/2007 1:11:53 PM Your better bet in this case would be to create an AutoOpen macro in the target document or template (if you always want this behavior, you can put the AutoOpen macro into your main template, i.e., Normal.dot; but, sometimes GoBack can take you to a spot in another open document if you have multiple documents open). The AutoOpen macro would look something like this, assuming you don't have an existing AutoOpen that's automating other document startup tasks (if that's the case, make sure that Application.GoBack occurs ahead of any other commands that might perform any editing action): Sub AutoOpen() Application.GoBack End Sub -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "silas" <silas.NOSPAMprophet[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:%23H0$hZxqHHA.4520[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
