    One of the best feature in word 2010 is the "Browse headings" tree that appears on the left side when you search (Ctrl+F) you document.

    It will be really great if there is a "back" or "Previous location" or "navigate backward" functionality that can be added so that user can have better experience. (keyboard shortcut if available)

    What about the "Previous Heading" button?  Doesn't that do what you are talking about?

    Hope this helps.

    It seems I didnt explain it will...

    Suppose U have the following sectionsL:

     

    1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1

    suppose I click on the document map in the following sequence:

     

    1.1 --> 2.1 --> 1.2 --> 2

    what I click on this button, I need to go through this sequence 1.2 then 2.1 then  1.1.

     

    Is it clear now?

    Hi Jamil

    The UP and DOWN arrows (top right) of pane go backward/forward through the headings - if that is what you mean.

    thanks for your replays.

    Again, your suggestion is similar to the previous one which is using "Previous heading" button.... these arrows allow you to go through the headings "sequantially" but I dont want that. I want to navigate through them according to my last location in a "stack order" based.

    let me explain it in an example with more details:

    Suppose I have the following headings

    1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 3, 3.1, 3.2

    Suppose my current location was  at 2.1, then i selected (using the mouse pointer) 1.1 then i selected 3.1; What i want to have is the facility of going through the reverse sequence of headings using one button; in other words; I want to click on this "magical button" to go to 1.1 and if click it again i will go to 2.1.

    if I go with your suggestion I will go to 3 then 2.2 then 2.1 then 2 then 1.1 then 1 which is the normal sequence...

    I wish it is clear now

    Here is the answer to your question: http://cybertext.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/word-add-a-back-button-to-the-toolbar/

    Creating a button in Word 2010 is similar to creating one in Word 2007.

    Thank you very much for your reply, but the back button is not working at all and it is always disabled...

    I tried that before starting this thread

    I agree with Jamil--the back button only works if navigating chapters via links in the document itself. What he and I are trying to do is use Word 2010's Navigation Pane (the list of chapters by default along the left side of the page). If I use the Navigation pane, and click chapter 5, and then chapter 2, I'd like to be able to click "back" and get to chapter 5 again.

    This was possible in Word 97/2000/2003 through similar navigation through the "document map" and the back button in the "web toolbar". In Word 2010, the back button remains disabled if a chapter is clicked in the navigation pane.

    Bump!

    Doug - Where can i locate the previous button in word 2010?

     

    I have bookmarks in my document and I would like for the user to go back to the previous page prior to clicking the bookmark.

     

    thanks!

    Here is another way to understand what is desired: the Word equivalent of the Visual Studio Navigate Backward feature.

    I am not sure if this has been answered but I found that if you hold ALT+LeftArrowKey it will let you navigate back to a link you selected to jump to the location.

    That is the closest I found, and its not releated to a "Section" but rather the link you clicked to jump to that bookmark in the document.

    Yep! That was what I was looking for. Alt + Left Arrow will take me back to the page I was on when I clicked on a link that takes me to a different page on the same document. Thank you NicolasFM!

    Edward, did you ever find something that's like the VS Nav Backward?  I'd like to hear about it, if so- thanks!

    Alt + Left Arrow is OK, but would prefer something more like Visual Studio.  I have a funny feeling it doesn't exist, but would be awesome!
