Can Word open where I left off, not at beginning of file?

I am revising a lengthy manuscript in Word 2003, and every time I open the
file, the cursor is set at the top of page 1. How can I get Word to remember
where the cursor was when the file was last saved and open the file at that
point rather than at the beginning of the file?

Shift-F5 takes you to the last edit point.

I also Insert Bookmarks here and there to make it easier to find things I'm
working on, especially if it involves spread out data.

Okay, so I tried the Sift-F5 thing. It doesn't work. I tried making an edit,
saving, closing Word, reopening the file, and Shift-F5 does nothing. If I
skip the closing Word part, Shift-F5 will take me to the last edit point. Is
there another step, a setting somewhere, that I'm missing to get Shift-F5 to
work on a freshly opened file?
