--- Comment #4 from Robert Marmorstein <[email protected]> ---
I can confirm that this issue still exists with 3.6.2.2.  

This is a really important missing features.  As the OP pointed out, this
functionality exists in pretty much every other 

A workaround is to keep a blank file around as a sort of template and copy it
with cp before opening the file.  Something like:

soffice.sh:

#!/bin/sh
NAME=$1
[ -e $NAME ] || cp $HOME/blank.odt $NAME
soffice $NAME

If you make this executable and place it somewhere in your path, it does
essentially what you might expect.  

BUT this requires keeping a blank ODT file in your home directory and being
careful not to edit it (unless you want to start out with some formatting or
something.  

It does have the advantage that you can define some default styles to apply to
your text and have them be consistent across documents, though.
