Backtracking Cursor

Posted Jul 10, 2006 by David Risley  

You’ve just finished writing a long document and begin to go through it, making revisions and changes. Page after page, you change a word here and there, but then it hits you, after rewriting a sentence you realize that the last change you made doesn’t make sense. Well, in most cases, you would then have to scroll your way back through the document to find and correct your mistake. However, there is an easier way. Pressing Shift + F5 will automatically return your cursor to its last ‘major’ position.

This is also handy when you save and close a document. The next time you open the document, the cursor will be at the top of the first page. Pressing Shift + F5 will return the cursor to its last position before you closed the document.
