# Opening Documents

## Opening an existing document

Do one of the following:

- Choose File – Open

- Choose File – Open Remote

- Do a long click in the Open icon on the standard toolbar and select Open Remote File in the bottom of the list.

Select the file you want to open and click Open.

### Restrict Files to Display

To restrict the display of files in the Open dialog to a certain type select the corresponding File type from the list. Select All Files to display all files.

### Cursor Position

In general, all documents open with the cursor at the start of the document.

One exception appears when the author of a Writer text document saves and reopens a document: The cursor will be at the same position where it has been when the document was saved. This only works when the name of the author was entered in LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - LibreOffice - User Data.

Press Shift+F5 to set the cursor to the last saved position.

## Opening an Empty Document

Click the New icon on the Standard bar or choose File - New. This opens a document of the document type specified.

If you click the arrow next to the New icon, a submenu opens in which you can select another document type.
