Re: [libreoffice-users] last cursor position

I have used the Shift F5 method for some years.
User data set.

Inspired of this thread I saved a document with 8 pages and reopened it. 
The document opens on the page where the the cursor was when saving the 
document, but without showing the cursor as the Shift F5 method does.

LibreOfficeDev Writer 7.6.0.0 on Windows 11.
