To do that, you need to add a macro to your Normal.dot template or
another global template. The macro name 'AutoOpen' is special; it runs
whenever you open an existing document. This is the macro you need
(see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed):

Sub AutoOpen()
Application.GoBack
End Sub

Depending on your version of Word, you may have to add another macro
to make sure the last location is saved when you close Word; see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/GoBackFix.htm.

Respectfully, I disagree. I see my request as similar to the person who
wants spell-checking on the fly. One could say 'just press F7' to
spellcheck, but I don't want to have to do that. I want it to check my
spelling automatically. And I want to open a document just where I left it.

In Word, I wish that when I reopen a document, the editing cursor jumps to
exactly where it was when I last closed the document.
