Go back in Word 2010

I've been writing and reading long documents, and am now very much missing a "back" key.


shift-F5 or ctrl-alt-z takes me to last place where text was edited
alt-arrow back helps me after I have followed a cross-reference

Still I would many times just want to go back to where the cursor was even through I didn't edit it. That shortcut still remains to be found.

Word and Non-Breaking Hyphen

I needed to use expression  Yearly calculations -tab (in finnish, so the hyphen needed to be like that). Problem was that Word broke the world to lines like this:

Yearly calculations -
tab


I didn't want that. I found  non-breaking-hyphen from here: http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2011/03/31/word-keep-text-together-in-one-of-three-ways/, so with ctrl-shift-hyphen I got

Yearly calculations
-tab


Nice.
