cursor

When OpenOffice opens a file in read-only mode, it does not show a cursor, and the arrow keys (up and down) will move the page instead of the cursor.

(By "cursor", I mean the blinking thing also called "caret" and not the mouse cursor.)

Is there any way to turn off the cursor when the document is not read-only?
