Move your cursor quickly to your last editing position

If you open an existing document in MS Word, the flashing cursor (insertion point) is automatically appears at the start of the text on the first page.

This can be frustrating when working on a long document with many pages.
Instead of having to scroll through the document to the location where you were last typing and clicking to move the flashing cursor, wouldn't it be great to get Word to pick up right where you left off?

The good news is, you can! Immediately after you open the document, hold down the Shift key and tap the F5 key.

Word will move the flashing cursor to the exact point where you left off last time you saved and closed the document - whether it was at the end of the document or some point in the middle.
