[EDIT: This macro does not work to stop the return to previous editing point. See apology post which follows.]

Create the following macro in your Normal.dotm template. This is the default location for recorded macros.

Code:
Sub AutoOpen()

    ' Disables Welcome back message and pick up where you left off
    ' Starts document at beginning of document when opened
    '
     Selection.HomeKey wdStory
End Sub
