Word 2007 reader view needs a bookmark function.

[Guest]

I'm not really sure where to post this but here is the deal:

I've been testing Office 2007 beta 2. I absolutely love the new interface,
but there is one thing I noticed. The Word 2007 reader view does not have a
bookmark function and this rather surprised me.

I was reading a large text file containing what is basically the "bible"
laying out all aspects of day-to-day operations at our facility. When I got
off work, I wanted to save the position I was at so I could come back to it
tomorrow. I was unable to find a way to bookmark where I was at in the
document.

So (finally) here is my question: Is there a way to bookmark my position in
reader view? If not it would be a great addition to an already great suite.

Thanks.

I agree with you (and have so voted). FWIW, given the tools that are currently
available, the best approach would be to insert a Comment. Then you can display
the Reviewing pane, click in the Comment and the focus should jump to that
position in the document. Delete the comment, close the pane, and you're all
set. A bit more work than it needs to be, granted, but better than nothing (for
a beta version).

I'll do that and hope that feature actually becomes part of Word.
