Have any of you figured out how to turn this "Welcome back, pick up where you left off" bookmark thing? I've gone through all the options and add-ins I can find, and I can't make it stop doing this.
Thanks!

On the same track I deleted all the subkeys under 'Reading Locations' and then made the 'Reading Locations' key read-only to everyone.
This has stopped Word writing to the key and I no longer get the message when I re-open a document.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Reading Locations
That looks like a good place to start.
Elsewhere in this thread, duffym111 suggested making the appropriate registry key(s) read-only. Have you tried it (note that it may not be supported on all versions of Windows)?
The MS person answered the question >>>The feature is built-in and currently there is no option to disable.
No one can shut off this virus, traps keystrokes and causes undue pain to the handicapped trying to use the keyboard.
MS: poll your users when you add a new "feature" that cannot be turned off even with good old REGEDIT.
IMHO Word seems to be moving away from the defacto (Windows) standard for professional writers. You can not write seriously on ANY mobile platform.
