Is there a way to insert some sort of marker (a "place-holder") at a specific
position within a Word document in order that I can immediately return to
that place after scrolling somewhere else in the document or after closing
and re-opening the document?

You can insert a bookmark and then use Go To to go to the bookmark.

Also, Word inserts automatic bookmarks at the last three edit positions.
Shift+F5 will take you back to where you were last working.
