Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: last edit position

Hi :)
In a different document i found that even without any user-data in
File - Properties - Description
It still opened at the place where the cursor was when i last saved the document (even though i 
hadn't edited anything there).  

I did have a tick in 
File - Properties - General - "Apply user data"
A quick but inconclusive test showed it seemed to recognise my login name as the "Author" which 
would make sense.  

It hadn't occurred to me to look for collaboration tools in Writer.  I don't really need it and it 
would just confuse anyone i work with but it's good to see some quite sophisticated tools are 
there.  
Regards from
Tom :)

      Obviously, it does matter. I had something else entered in the 
user info, and it opened at the beginning of the document. When I 
changed the first name to First and the last name to Last, it opened on 
page 8 line 115.
       I also note that when I am writing with Changes > Record along 
with Changes > Show, different people editing my document have a 
different colored font. Comments are also colored according to what is 
contained in the user first and last name.
      So, it seems the first and last names serve a variety of purposes. 
It now also makes sense to enter information in the User section.
