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

If you already have an AutoOpen macro, add the following line to that macro before End Sub:

Code:

     Selection.HomeKey wdStory
