Hi Scott:

Just hit Command + End.

If you are on a laptop, make sure you have the PowerBook toolbar displayed,
because your keyboard does not have an END key :-)

Cheers

So, it can't be done automatically upon opening?

Hi Scott,

My memory says that there is exactly the feature you want built into Word,
but it's been a couple years since anyone asked about it. I spent a few
minutes searching Google groups for the topic because I know it was
discussed in this newsgroup at one time.

A simple macro should be able to accomplish the task you desire in either an
Auto-Open or Auto-Close macro. From Word's help:

This example moves the selection to the end of the current story. If the
selection is in the main text story, the example moves the selection to the
end of the document.
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory, Extend:=wdMove

Thanks.

Hi Scott:

Yes, it can. But since it's only a single keystroke, nobody ever bothers.

The one we use more often, Return to Last Edit, is Shift + F5. That takes
you to the point of the most recent edit in a document.

If you really want it to be automatic, install the following one-line macro
in the document:

Sub AutoOpen()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 7/7/2003 by John McGhie
'
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
End Sub

Do not change the name of the macro.

Cheers
