Microsoft Word - Automatically Starting With Last Open Document [Resolved]

[MartinLiss]

This is a non-programming question. I thought that I remembered that there was an option that I could set in Word so that each time I started it, it would open the last document that I worked with. I can't find any such option now? Am I imagining things?

Umm... just had a look on mine, (Word 97), and I couldn't see anything. Maybe your thinking of when it crashes, and autorecovers it the next time you load it?

[MartinLiss]

No I didn't mean that, but thanks for the thought. Maybe I'm thinking of a different tool.

well this probably isnt your problem, but might be worth telling it:D

my aunt's comp would open a document everytime she started ms word. She had even deleted the document. Dunno why, but in one of the windows directories, word had saved a copy of the document and would open that everytime. When I deleted it, everything was fine....


btw have you tried asking the nasty annoying office assistant for help?:)

Can you set a Macro to run on start?
And then use code like : Recent(1).Open
