There's an option in your Account settings, just go to https://trello.com/username/account or go to your profile to set your account settings.
As far as I can tell, the Trello user is only auto-added to your initial Welcome Board, not to other boards you create.
However, when I tried Rich's instructions, the board activity popup for the trello user had only the View Profile button, not the Make Co-owner (it already is co-owner) or Remove from Board options.
Now it is possible that this has something to do with my having archived all the lists on the Welcome Board and closed my Welcome Board itself (I re-opened it to test this out, of course). I would be curious if others have the same difficulty with removing other co-owners, or the trello user/co-owner specifically.

The only way to make a document update itself after uploading is to attach a Google Document by selecting "Google Drive" The attachment is basically a link to the Google Document, and all edits made there are online.
Attaching a Word Document (.doc or .docx) means you are uploading a file, and there is no dynamic editing functionality once you upload the file itself.
