After you've opened the document, you can use Shift+F5 to move the insertion
point to the last edit point.

Two additional points:
- If it doesn't work properly in Word 2000 through 2003, you need a macro to
fix it: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/GoBackFix.htm
- It doesn't work at all in Word 2007, which doesn't save the built-in
\PrevSel1 bookmark when the file is closed. It would be possible to write
AutoClose and AutoOpen macros to save a (not built-in) bookmark and return
to it. Someone has probably done this already, but I don't have a citation
to give you.

Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. I'm currently editing a 165-
page article, and when I reopen it, sometimes Shift-F5 works and
sometimes it doesn't. More reliable is clicking the back-arrow on the
Reviewing toolbar and it asks whether it should start searching from
the end. It then takes you to the endmost (though not necessarily the
most recent) tracked change or Comment in the file.

The secret seems to be to Save before Closing, rather than letting it
ask if it should save changes before closing.
