How to Return to a Place of Recent Editing in Word
Word remembers where you edited your document recently
Read full articleWhen working on a huge document in Word, sometimes you need to return to the place where you edited the text recently. By bad fortune, this place in most cases appears to be beyond the screen, and you have to scroll the document up or down and seek for it, losing your time.
Word is packed with useful commands and shortcuts, and, of course, there is a special shortcut for returning to a place of the last editing. Here it is: SHIFT+F5.
- Feature #1: Word remembers five last places of editing, so pressing SHIFT+F5 again “scrolls” you through them.
- Feature #2: SHIFT+F5 works in all recent versions of Word: 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016.
- Feature #3: Even if you close the document and open it again, Word still remembers where the cursor was put earlier and returns it there!
