I am wondering if there is a way to have a message box displayed when someone
opens up the word document? I am looking to put a disclaimer type
informaition box that appears each time the file is opened

Yes, if you're willing to embed VBA code in the document (which could trigger
macro security, or possibly let the macro not run at all).

If this isn't for internal use (which means you could make sure the document is
"trusted"), then you might consider using hidden text.

Or, if this is really important the macro could be more complicated so as to
only show the content if the macro can run.
