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.
Go to the Uservoice forum at http://word.uservoice.com and post a suggestion, or vote for an existing suggestion, to change the behavior.
I actually hope there is an option that word directly opens where I left off without any clicking. I often edit word document >200 pages. Clicking the pop-up every time is quite annoying for me......
To make that happen, install the following macro in your Normal.dotm template:
Sub AutoOpen()
With ActiveDocument
If .Bookmarks.Exists("\PrevSel1") Then
.Bookmarks("\PrevSel1").Select
End If
End With
End Sub
If you need to know how to install it, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.
