It is very rare that you need to select anything when using VBA code. Here is your routine rewritten to avoid selecting the text.

Code:

Sub AutoOpen()
    '
    ' AutoOpen Macro
    '
    ' This macro opens itself (AutoOpen) automatically with every Word document that's opened normally
    ' Choose background colour (light green 2)
    With ActiveDocument.Background.Fill
        .ForeColor.ObjectThe meColor = wdThemeColorAccent6
        .ForeColor.TintAndSh ade = 0.6
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .Solid
    End With
    ' Turn option 'Show background colors and images in Display view' on
    ActiveWindow.View.DisplayBackgrounds = True
    ' Select all text and change font to black colour
    ActiveDocument.Content.Font.Color = wdColorBlack
End Sub
