 Last reviewed: February 5, 1998
Article ID: Q128504
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, versions 1.0, 1.0z, 2.0z
  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95 version 7.0
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

Pressing SHIFT+F5 or Ctrl+Alt+Z (to go back to the previous editing location) in Internet Assistant does not move the insertion point to the previous editing location.

CAUSE

Internet Assistant disables the Go Back keyboard command for its GO BACK function.

WORKAROUND

Method 1: Choose Macros from the Tools menu. Type GoBack and ensure that 

          the "Macros Available in:" box reads "Normal.dot (Global
          Template)". Click on the Edit button. Proceed by choosing Close
          from the File menu and by answering "Yes" to save the macro
          changes.
Method 2: Use a bookmark to return to a previous location. To do this, 
          position your insertion point where you want the bookmark, then
          from the Edit menu, choose Bookmark. Type a unique name for the
          bookmark and choose OK. You can then press CTRL+G or F5 to bring
          up the Go To dialog box, select your bookmark, and choose the Go
          To button.
Method 3: Temporarily disable the WIAHTM32.DLL file. To do this, click 
          Templates on the File menu, clear the WIAHTM32.DLL option in the
          Global Templates and Add-Ins list, and then click OK.

MORE INFORMATION

In Word for Windows, pressing SHIFT+F5 moves the insertion point to the last place you typed or edited text. Word also stores the last location when you save your document.
