Probably you?ve experienced that undesirable experience, while typing certain document, or many word pages.

For instance:

   1 - You?re typing on page 15, paragraph 3 to modify the text. Suddenly, and without enough attention from your part, you?ve hit the function to save the document, and you?ve closed it, before finishing it. You like to continue, but you don?t remember on what page you?ve been, neither on what paragraph. In that case, you?ll loose a lot of time to read again and search for that page place.

   2 - You are on the same page, but you?ve moved the mouse cursor somewhere else by mistake or by necessity. You don?t know anymore where it has been.


In both cases the solution is one and simple:

Press the key ?SHIFT? (?Upper Case? key, which makes capital letters), and hold it pressed while pressing ?F5? too.

That?s it folks.   ;)



(Maybe it works too after restarting the computer, in case you like to continue next day from the place where you?ve been. But I didn?t try that option).

I'm currently editing a 92 page document so if that works it's an incredibly good tip!  Thanks Joudi - you are a goldmine of information!
