I'm afraid not. However...


You could pin it to your Recents list.
You can record a macro opening your document.
You could assign a keyboard shortcut or QAT button to the macro.

• Modifying the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) in Microsoft Word
• Assigning Keyboard Shortcuts in Microsoft Word 2007-2021 (365)

Thank you - it's just one of those things which I find annoying - more as I get older When calm I'll try those suggestions - many thanks.

You could also name that macro "AutoExec" and it will run when you start Word.

Thanks - too much for old brain - I'll stay calm and stick with the problem. Best wishes.

I will be surprised if your brain is older than mine! Just try recording a macro opening the file. If you want, name the macro AutoExec.

Close Word and restart Word.
Does your document open?
