How to add a 'Go to Top of Document' link to each page of a Word doc

Alan Kelly  As Haytham noted, if the link is actually in the footer, then the user will have to open the footer pane before being able to click on the link. This is not a great solution.

The best solution is that the user knows (or is reminded) that the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Home is the default for the StartOfDocument command. Maybe just putting that reminder in the footer will do.

Another solution, which is more work for you but less for the user to remember, is to put the link in a frame that is anchored in the regular text and positioned in or just above the footer. Recent versions of Word don't have a command on the ribbon for inserting a frame, but you can add it to your Quick Access Toolbar -- it's in the "Commands Not in the Ribbon" category as "Insert Horizontal Frame". You would have to create the first frame, add the hyperlink to it, copy it, and paste it into the text on every page.
