Thank you.
I am aware of this.
However, sometimes it works, OFTEN is does not.
AND, LibreOffice seems to be very restrictive: the function works ONLY 
if YOU are the owner and have created the document from scratch in 
LibreOffice.
Opening a document created by someone else in something else (Word etc.) 
using Writer and still expecting this to work
seems to be regarded as a form of heresy ...
Problem is: I constantly HAVE to work with these "other people other 
software" documents. (do NOT want to use Word)
Translation agencies send me those to "work with".

By the way, the same applies to changing the "view": if you dare to 
switch from "print layout" to "web layout" the cursor ALWAYS jumps to 
the top of the document.
And if you have one of those 100-page documents you will have to 
frantically scroll through dozens of pages to find where you were last.
Switching the view does NOT mean I saved the document.
Shift+F5 does not help either. It does not work at all, or it jumps to 
random places that have nothing to do with my "last position".

This is something I have been struggling with for years, on many 
computers and multiple versions of LibreOffice.
Unless somebody can actually prove (show me), that these little tricks 
CAN work .. I am forced to conclude that LibreOffice is not "up to the job".
(I think, I have tried to implement EVERY relevant suggestion ever made 
on this list over the years .. with no success)

Sorry for the complaining
Thomas
