Huh? I've never seen "Undo" being available when opening a document in
any version of Word I had my hands on. Under what circumstances did that
happen (sorry, I seem to fail finding the article you are referring to)?

I'm pretty much aware of the fact that Word *does* store this
information, but I fail to see how the existence of an "Undo" feature
(which is limited to the current session according to all of my
observations) would be any kind of excuse for it.
