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

Anne,

If you are not experiencing the problem then you are probably using 
an older version of LO.  This bug has now been fixed in the latest 
update of LO.  Early versions always opened at the point where the 
cursor was located when the document was saved/closed.  That was lost 
somewhere in version 3.x.x.x but has now been fixed in version 4.4.4.3.

I found it annoying because I am using LO to read fiction which is 
downloaded from the internet to my computer. Reading a long novel 
(>500 pages) and losing your place when closing the book sucks. The 
work around that I developed was to insert a string of "X" at the 
cursor point before closing the novel. Then on reopening the book, 
having to do a search for the string.  But if I forgot, it was back 
to the beginning and having to search for where I was. Very 
frustrating, especially when compared to reading on the Kiindle which 
keeps your place even you have gone on and read 3 or 4 other things 
and then come back to the it.
