Open a Word Document to a Specific Page

Question

Is there a way to set a Word document to open to a specific page.  I know I can do this was a PDF but was just wondering if there was a setting in Word to do the same?

You could use a macro on the current document and apply it to the Open event. In the following example, I've created a bookmark in the document and named it Start.

Private Sub Document_Open()

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="Start"

End Sub

Or, if you save the document with the insertion point on the page you want, open the document and press Shift-F5.

Shift-F5 will take you to the last place you were in a previously opened document.

If you need more help on creating or using a bookmark, let me know.

I'll look into the macro though it's going to be transmitted to someone else and I'd prefer not to generate the macro warning message.   I think I'll probably just pdf it for now but thanks for replying :)

If you don't want to use the macro, the reader can press ctrl-G, then click GoTo tab, insert the page number, and click GoTo button. You'll just have to tell them the page number to jump to. Ron
