On file open, can I return to last edit postion in a Word document?
WordPerfect call it Bookmark and Go To.

In versions up to Word 2003, press Shift+F5 (the shortcut for the GoBack
command).

In Word 2007, this command works as long as the document is open, but it's
broken when you close and reopen the document because it fails to save the
necessary bookmark.

Hate to hear that. We have been true WordPerfect advocates, clear back to
4.2 for DOS. We recently had to move to from WordPerfect to Office 2007. I
have always used and been very proficient with both Office Suites, I simply
preferred WordPerfect because it is easier to use and has the flexiblility we
need for in house forms. The table features in WordPerfect (equivalent to
Excel) were incredible, and they allowed you to merge directly from
databases, address books and more. Word will not. Excel has the spreadsheet
ability but no Merge features to create routine reports. It's taken months
to recreate our forms and daily documents and we are missing many of the
features and capabilities we had with WordPerfect.

You do know, don't you, that you can merge from Excel to Word?
