open the last closed file in word2010

Question

Hello Recently I often close the word document by mistake. I'm just thinking that it will be great if Word have the option to open the last colsed word document. You know we can reopen closed tab in a browser. Is that possible? Thanks for any help.

If you mean that you want a button like reopen the closed word file a VBA macro will help. Try this one: Function GetTempFolder() As String GetTempFolder = IIf(Environ$(tmp)  Environ$(tmp) Environ$(temp)) End Function Sub AutoClose() Const ForReading = 1 ForWriting = 2 ForAppending = 8 Dim objFileSystem Dim objFile Dim strLogFileName As String Dim strText As String strLine As String strAddText As String strLogFileName = GetTempFolder() & \ & OpenLog.txt Set objFileSystem = CreateObject(Scripting.FileSystemObject) Set objFile = objFileSystem.OpenTextFile(strLogFileName ForAppending True TristateFalse) objFile.WriteLine (ActiveDocument.FullName) objFile.Close End Sub Sub ReopenLastClosedDoc() Const ForReading = 1 ForWriting = 2 ForAppending = 8 Dim objFileSystem Dim objFile Dim strLogFileName As String Dim strText As String strAddText As String Dim strLine As String Dim objLines As New Collection Dim nCount As Integer strLogFileName = GetTempFolder() & \ & OpenLog.txt Set objFileSystem = CreateObject(Scripting.FileSystemObject) Set objFile = objFileSystem.OpenTextFile(strLogFileName ForReading False TristateFalse) Do While objFile.AtEndOfStream True strLine = objFile.ReadLine objLines.Add (strLine) Loop nCount = objLines.Count Documents.Open objLines.Item(nCount) Set objLines = Nothing End Sub There are more details in the article below https://www.datanumen.com/blogs/3-smart-ways-quickly-reopen-last-closed-word-document-via-vba/ Good luck

I think this is only possible when you are maintaining the filenames after its closing function. Just like as undo/redo works
