Opening a Word document where you left off

One of the frustrations of Microsoft Word is that it opens at the top of the document, rather than where you left off reading or editing. If it's a long document, it can be a pain trying to find that spot again. Fortunately, there is a solution, using a little-known feature of Word: the Go Back command. No matter where you are in a document, when you press Ctrl+Alt+Z your cursor jumps back to the last place you edited; on the Mac, it's Command-Option-Z. In fact, each time you use the Go Back command, your insertion point jumps among four places: the last three edit spots and your current position. When you re-open a document, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Z will also take the cursor to the last editing point. So if you are reading a long document and have to close it, make a small edit (for instance, adding a spacebar space) and using the Go Back command will take you there when you return. One proviso: When you open the document, hit the Go Back command keys immediately - don't so much as touch your mouse - otherwise it may not work.
