Starting a New Document
You can start a new, blank document in Apache OpenOffice in several ways.
When Apache OpenOffice is open, but no document is open (for example if you close all the open documents but leave the program running), the Start Center is shown. Click one of the icons to open a new document of that type, or click the Templates icon to start a new document using a template.
You can also start a new document in one of the following ways.
- Use File → New and choose the type of document.
- Use the arrow next to the New button on the main toolbar. From the drop-down menu, select the type of document to be created.
- Press Ctrl + N on the keyboard.
- Use File → Wizards for some special types of documents.
If a document is already open in Apache OpenOffice, the new document opens in a new window.
