Going back to where I left off in a document

I am an old Pocket PC user so please bare with me.  I have some stories and books that I have as Word doc files.  With my old Pocket PC I could turn the unit off any where in the document and turn it back on, open Pocket Word and be right back to where I was when I shut down.  Using Quick Office I can go back to where I left off if I just let it go into sleep mode.  If I turn the unit off, for instance over night and go back to Quick Office you end up starting back at the beggining of the document and have to find your place again if you can.
Is there a way to save or tag where you finished reading so that you can return to it? 
Would the Kindle app or something like allow me to do that? 
Any help will be appreciated.
Joe

You can save the document in Quick Office by clicking on the return arrow on the device. The following options will appear:
1. Discard
2. Save 
3. Save As
4. Cancel

    Art,
    I am trying to follow your very precise steps, and in my case (PSE11 also, Win7), the focus stays on the edited picture after I return from the editor to the Organizer. I am pretty sure that in the previous post describing your situation, I was able to reproduce the problem, but I don't remember on which version. I just tried in 'Folders' view mode to edit in a selected folder, then I clicked 'All media' so that no folder was selected. Same result in both cases.
    Even if you prefer to work in folders view, you could take advantage of the ability to use 'albums'. It's a misleading word to describe a selection, a 'collection' of pictures, which you can sort as you want. It's a kind of  'playlist' like with music items. In the organizer, you can select a folder and create an album (even a temporary one) just by choosing 'create instant album'. Suppose you have made an album from a folder or a selection of highlighted pictures to edit. You can order them in date order, import batch or 'custom' order'. Since PSE12 you can also sort them in filename order. You should never lose the 'focus' on your last edited picture when coming back from the editor to the organizer. If the purpose of that album is only to help in organizing an editing session, you simply delete the album (the playlist) if you don't want to keep the list afterward.
    I hope someone will be able to confirm how that can happen...
    Edit;
    I have just read Brian's post.
    That may be the difference...

  • How do I get Digital Editions to open back up where I left off?

    Every time I go back into digital editions on my laptop I have to flip through page after page to figure out where I left off.  Why does digital editions not go straight back to the last page I was on.  On my andriod device my books open up to where I left off.  Why is this not the case on laptop/desktop computers?
    This makes Diginal Editions very impractical.

    If you use DE in Reading mode, it does 'placemark' where you were when you

  • Just hit the reset button on my phone now it wants to restart as new phone just want it back to where I left off

    Just hit reset on phone and now it wants me to restart as new phone just want my old info back

    First of all, did you actually accept the reset? You get the opportunity to cancel the reset, but I assume that you didn't cancel it and you did totally erase the phone.
    If you backup with iCloud or iTunes, you can recover your content and data. Do you backup, or sync with iTunes? If you don't ever backup or have never synced with iTunes, you will not be able to recover your data or settings but you can download the majority of your purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the content.
    Take a look at this.

  • Zen Xtra no longer remembers where I left off in a tr

    Hi,
    I downloaded and installed the most recent drivers and firmware for my Zen Xtra, and now it doesn't remember where I left off in a track. I listen to long audiobooks in my car so this is very important.
    I used to be able to power down and then when I came back to my car I could just turn it back on and pick up where I left off. Now it always goes back to where I left off many sessions ago, no matter how much I have played since then. In one particular audio book it always goes back to 2:59:0 or something, which is where I left off many many sessions ago.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    chris.

    Both my 1st and 3rd generation models still work with resume, as does my 2nd generation models.
    You are not on your own though, as others have reported similar issues. As yet I haven't seen a solution, but wonder what happens if you hold down the centre button and mark the movie as watched or unwatched and then try again.

  • How can I return to where I left off on a menu?

    I have a menu with 6 items in it. When you select each item you are taken to that page and then you click on the return to menu button and are taken to the number 1 item on the list each time you return to the list.
    I want to come back to where I left off in the menu rather then starting over each time. So, if I am on list item #2 and come back to menu I want to come back to list item #2 to navigate down to item #3 or even come back to list item #3. I do not want to came back to list item #1 everytime and then have to scroll down farther each time.
    Any help in the right direction?
    Jerome

    If you 6 menu buttons are pointing to Tracks then select the Track and in the property inpector you can set the Menu Remote Control options. Set Menu to the button on the menu you want to jump to.
    You can set this option individually for chapters in a Track also so,

  • How can I bookmark, in iTunes, so that the songs I play and then stop in middle of song then come back later - it will start where I left off.  What is the switch in iTunes to make this happen?  Thank You

    In iTunes I would like to set it to bookmark where I am holding in a song on my iPOD.  Let's say I want to play a song that I listen to yesterday and stopped playing it in the middle on my iPOD.  Today, I want to listen, on my iPOD, to the same song and have it start playing where I left off yesterday.
    Can someone please tell me what I have to do in iTUNES to have this feature on my iPOD?
    Thank You

    iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first.  Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one?  The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless).  To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes.  To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
    There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
    Realize what you are talking about is not "backup".  Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

  • I have thousands of photos.  When I select a photo and edit it I want to return to the Organizer where I left off.  I don't want to go to the most recent photo and have to find my way back to where I was.  Is there a way to make this happen?

    When I am in the Organizer and edit a photo I want to return to the Organizer where I left off.  I don't see that as an option--it always returns me to the most recent photo.  Is there a fix?  Thank you.

  • My ipod is no longer keeping my tv shows in order, or returning to where i left off when watching an episode.  Anyone have a problem like this?

    My ipod is no longer keeping my tv shows in order, or returning to where i left off when watching an episode.
    I have deleted them and re-added from my computer.  On my computer, when plugged into Itunes,
    they show as in order by air date--on my ipod, they are random.  Also, my shows are not
    restarting where I last left off--they are going back to the beginning, so I have to fast forward!
    Very frustrating!  Anyone have a problem like this?

  • Downloads resume from zero, not where they left off

    I know this is a tired question, but it STILL HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY APPLE. Why do interrupted downloads start back at zero instead of picking up where they left off? Is this too difficult of a bug for the iTunes engineers to deal with? Being overseas in a country with very slow internet connections, this is the most irritating issue I've ever dealt with. It's almost impossible to download podcasts because they always get interrupted somehow, then I have to start from scratch every time. Thinking it's time to consider ditching Mac + iTunes for something more reliable....
    Will someone from Apple please explain why downloads do not resume correctly?

    I am having the same problems, and this is driving to distraction, if the internet line for a second runs to zero MB per sec, I get kicked off the download and have to start from the beginning. There must be a way to start where the download stopped.

  • If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it?

    If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it? Or do I just have to search for a string of text from my iPhone on my iPad?

    On both devices go to Settings>iBooks>Sync Bookmarks>On. Then when you want to quit reading on one device, tap the bookmark in the upper right corner and it will turn red. That marks your place. Close the book on the device now by tapping on the Library button in the upper left corner of the app. That will put the closed book back on the shelf. Tap the home button.
    On the other device, when you tap on the book, it should open to that page. You have to be connected to WiFi in order for this to work. You can read this older discussion for more information. I was involved in that as well.

  • Is there a way to get Aperture to remember where you left off?

    I find it a pain that even when switching between projects, Aperture always jumps back to the first image in a project.
    Is there a way to get Aperture to remember where you left off? (plist setting?)

    Do you create a new tab when you open a new project or album? Hold down the Cmnd key as you click on a project or album, you get a new tab in the browser. Aperture remembers where you were in each tab.

  • Is it possible to have an audio book being read from an ipod nano - 6th generation - to pick up where it left off?

    I just downloaded "Audible" so that I could listen to audio books on my 6th generation nano. When I shut off the ipod in the middle of a chapter and turn it back on, the book picks up at the start of the chapter. Is there a way to pick up where I left off?

    They should automatically pick up right where you left off. I'm not sure what you mean that you just downloaded Audible.
    Sync the audiobooks to the iPod and listen to them there by tapping  the audiobooks icon on your Nano

  • Why Won't My Podcast Pick Up Where It Left Off Downloading Like Others?

    All the podcasts I subscribe to will pick up where it left off before it was cut off. That is, if I got to 30 MB out of 50 MB when an error occured, most podcasts pick up again at 30 MB isntead of starting back at 1 MB. Mine just get near the end and then start all over again after an error occurs.
    What's wrong?

    Hi Dalton,
    Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm trying to download a 600mb video pocast from iTunes U and my internet connection is pretty shabby and drops out constantly, I get about 30mb in 5 minutes, then it drops out for 10 seconds or so and STUPID iTunes re-starts it from scratch...
    This is extremely annoying, thank God I didn't ever try to purchase a movie from iTunes, I would never be able to fully download it!

  • Return to where I left off on a song...

    I listen to a lot of long mixes on my iPhone. Is there a way to pickup a song where I left off so I wouldn't have to start at the beginning of the song when I decide to come back to it?

    In iTunes, right-click any song, select "Get Info", under "Options", "Remember Playback Position". You can batch change them all, in iTunes, if you like. No way to do this on the phone.
