Re: [libreoffice-users] Question about LO Writer and "complex documents"

       I still don't understand that problem of opening at the beginning
only;
          my documents always re-open at the spot where last saved.

I've had no problem using Writer to create 200+ page documents with over a
hundred illustrations, annotated screen shots and drawings,  imported from
Microsoft's Visio or LO Draw (LO Draw works best) and JPEG photos.  Also
frequently use tables to show information.  The documents have many, many
cross references embedded in them and four level table of contents at the
beginning.

My only gripe is when you close a document and then reopen it, it opens at
the beginning, not the point where you were working on it.

      Is the problem with Complex documents really about the complexity, or
is it about using LO and?Word on a complex document?
      I have been working with ODF Authors to create documentation for
OpenOffice.org and then LibreOffice. I consider these document to be
complex.
