Word 2003 cursor position on start up

Word 2003 cursor position on start up

Didn't find your answer?

How can I get the cursor to start at a position other than the first line when I reopen a document in word 2003? We have several standard letters and it would be more convenient if the cursor started at the body of the letter as opposed to the top line.

Use a bookmark?
You could bookmark the preferred starting point in your standard letters and then use "GoTo" in preference to scrolling.

A little more clever would be to use VBA. The following macro ought to work:

Private Sub Document_Open()

Bookmarks("StartHere").Select

End Sub

This assumes that you bookmark your starting point as "StartHere." The downside is that you will get macro alerting boxes appearing whenerver you open the documents unless you turn macro security level down.

Hope this helps.
