So instead I put some mark, e.g., `%%WORK%%' into the file at the position where I want to go on working. Instead of doing C-s % % W O R K % % every time I open the document, I wanted to have this done automatically. My attempt was to use the file local variables section with an entry eval: (search-forward "%%WORK%%") When I open the file, I am asked whether I want to evaluate the `eval', but still I do not end up at the marked position. Any clarifications on why that does not work, and on how to make it work, would be most welcome! TIA, Albert. P.S.: Current solution is to have the (search-forward ...) in the first line and do C-e C-x C-e.
