Description
I open a document with OpenOffice (e.g. a .ppt presentation), I browse through it and decide it's not the one I was looking for. When I close it, OpenOffice will ask me if I want to save or dismiss the changes. If you open 5-6 documents like this, it can be quite annoying...
OpenOffice should ignore the fact that I'm closing the document at a different page than the one it opened to...
Please push this idea upstream to the OOo developers...

It's an idea, because it's on purpose AFAIK: OpenOffice, in the same way as MS Word, saves the position of the cursor on the page (the sheet in SpreadSheet, etc), so that the next time you open the document, you start at the same page.

Or ... maybe it is that OOo converts the format of the data it reads to something it knows how to display. Thus making the file it has in memory different from the file it read from disc. :-\
I do understand what azimout means by how "it can be quite annoying".
I agree with the suggestion to "push this idea upstream to the OOo developers".
