Here's how I would do it:
1. Right-click on the shortcut you use to start Word (on the Desktop, Start
Menu, Quick Launch bar) and choose Copy.
2. In the same place (or any of the others), right click and choose Paste
Shortcut.
3. Right-click on the new shortcut and choose Properties.
4. On the Shortcut tab you will see a box that says "Target." In that box
will be a file path, probably enclosed in quotes. To the right of the quoted
path, add the /mfile1 switch.
5. OK out.
6. Use this shortcut when you want to start Word with the most recently used
file open.
