I have tried this out.  If you just put the cursor somewhere then Close
without saving, the cursor position is not remembered.  If you have to Save
on Closing, then it will be remembered, otherwise the position remembered
will be where it was when the document is last Saved.  Of course, by
default, you cannot Save a document that has not been modified, but you can
change that in Tools > Options... > General.  If you do change that option,
and remember to Save before Close, then you will go back to the last page
even if you were just viewing it and providing you moved the cursor to it
as well.

I think that is the definitive answer, but I will stand corrected, if it is
not.
