OpenOffice Witer - opening a document

I have a multi-page document that I edit every now and then, and when I open it in OpenOffice Writer it starts from the point at which I last saved the document. But I always want to be positioned at the top of this particular document when I open it.

An obvious thing to do is to go to the top of the document each time I have finished editing prior to saving it, but is it not possible when opening a document to always start at the top?

I've looked through the options and help to no avail (probably missed the obvious setting), so does anyone know how to be positioned at the top of an existing document when it is opened (don't mind if it applies to all or individual documents)?

p.s. if it requires editing the registry then that's fine.

Don't have OpenOffice on my current pc but have a look at Tools > Options > Load/Save

Sorry just a shot in the dark!

Thanks but that's not it.

However, i've had another look as a result of your post and it turns out that it's happening because I have put my name in the user data for OpenOffice.org (i.e. a general setting for the whole OpenOffice suite). Clearing those fields means that the document opens and display from the start.

It seems a bit ridiculous that a global setting has such an effect.

So thanks for your reply which indirectly lead to the answer I was after.
