how do i choose which file should open when I start an office app.

When I start MS WORD application, a certain file opens every time. Is there
any way I can change it to some other file or a new doccument?

An option to start in the last edited document would be nice. Or
even a shortcut to enable that.

some VBA but I can't remember what).
