This tip will come very handy if you are editing a document inside Microsoft Word that spans more than a couple of pages.
Say you are writing something on Page 9 of a Word document and then scroll down to some place on Page 16. Now if you were to go back to the previous location on Page 9, just press Shift + F5.
Microsoft Word remembers the last location of your cursor on the document just like the Back and Forward arrows in a web browser. And to go back to Page 16, press Shift+F5 again. Source: MS newsletter.

Cool tip for me because I am constantly going back and forth on a word template I use all the time. Copy, shift 5 past.

Arrgghh!!!
I have been searching for that key combo for years! I used to have it stored in my memory, but my brain got wiped by a virus and I couldn’t find it anywhere. Because I couldn’t think of how to describe it no amount of googling helped either.
Once again you are a legend, Amit!
Cheers from the wintry Adelaide Hills!

And just as wonderful, Shift+F5 returns you to where you were when you last used the document. So, you’re writing something, save and close, and open it the next day. Shift+F5 and presto! you’re back where you were last time!
