You can add "back" and "forward" buttons to your toolbar. I like them for navigating within Word when editing. Probably the easiest is to show the quick-access toolbar and add the buttons there.
- right-click on toolbar
- show quick access toolbar
- customize quick access toolbar
- choose from commands not in the ribbon
- add back and forward commands to quick access.

Subject: "back" in MS Word
I'm looking for a way to create a "back" function in MS Word 2007.
I'm using Word's "cross reference" tool to create live links to tables in a Word doc. So, for example, there might be a cross reference on page 1 to a table on page 10. Control-click the x-ref on page 1, and you land at the table on page 10.
What I want to do now is create a "back" link. What I envision is having:
[back]
beneath each table. When "[back]" is clicked, the reader is bounced back to the original paragraph.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
matt
