I see where you're coming from, Mike.  It sounds as though you have OOo set to 
start up on boot.  On the Mac there is no such option, and to save long startup 
times when I click on the OOo icon, I have it set to start up when the machine 
starts.  At that point you can decide which kind of document you wish to be 
displayed by default, e.g. a Writer document, a Calc spreadsheet and so on, and 
I have opted for a Writer document - clearly a specific one.  I now need to be 
able to change that.


Not on this machine.

But I think you're asking two questions. The one that's been answered is 'given I start xyzzy, how do I select xyzzy's default document when it opens?'

If you're asking how to start xyzzy, the given OOo component, at bootup, that's an OS issue, surely? (And Mac's are and hopefully will remain a Mystery to Me :-) )

It sounds to me that what you are describing is what happens when you click on 
File/New/Writer

Starting Writer from ubuntu's main menu behaves just as if File | New had been used. As it should.
