Pick Up Where You Left Off in Word

If you open a document you are working on in Microsoft Word, the flashing cursor (insertion point) is automatically placed at the top of the first page. 

This can be frustrating when you are continually working on a long document. To pick up where you left off, you are forced to scroll many pages to the proper location and click to move the flashing cursor.

Wouldn't it be nice to pick up right where you left off?

As soon as you open the document, hold down the Shift key and tap the F5 key. (The F Keys or Function Keys run across the top of the keyboard.) 

Word moves the flashing cursor to the exact point where you left off - whether it was at the end of the document or some point in the middle.
