Re: [libreoffice-users] last cursor position

2023-07-24 Thread Kolbjørn Stuestøl 

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.

Den 23.07.2023 23:30, skreiv Chuck Stuettgen:

This bug appeared beginning in version 7.1.0.1. Since then there have been
82 releases of LibreOffice.  There have been 13 releases of 7.5 which was
when it was supposed to have been fixed.   Now 7.6 has been released.

Apparently, we are in the minority of the more than 200 million users of
LibreOffice for whom this is a problem.  I can only surmise the rest of 200
million users are only editing short 1 or 2 page documents so never
encounter the problem.

I wasn't aware of the SHIFT F5 workaround and wound up removing the distro
supplied version and installed 7.0.6.2 from the Document Foundation's
download site.  7.0.6.2 is the last version without the bug.

Would I prefer to use a more up to date version?  Absolutely!  But I
routinely edit documents of 100 pages or more and having to hunt down the
last edited location is a major problem.

Some day, when I don't have anything else to do, I'll set up another
computer and install the latest version to see if I can live with the
SHIFT-F5 work around.

Until then I'll stick with 7.0.6.2.

Good afternoon
I am sure, this question has been asked a million times.
When I open a document, the cursor is NOT in the position of the last edit.
In fact, it appears at random locations, different each time I open the
document.

I have modified the user data section under tools, but that does not
change anything.
Deliberately editing the document at different locations, closing and
reopening it (same computer),
the cursor still pops up at totally unpredictable locations.
This happens apparently also with other (not created by me) documents.

Is there a smart trick, anything short of resetting the user profile?

Re: [libreoffice-users] last cursor position

2023-07-23 Thread Andrew Pitonyak 

I loaded a roughly 700 page document that had been saved on page 35. I was left 
on page 51 (of 683), which is really page 47 with the way that I modify page 
numbering in the book. Shift+F5 takes me back to page 35 (real page 31) where I 
had left off. 

I am running on the latest release of Fedora and I have version 7.5.3.2 of LO. 
Pretty sure that LO was installed from the repos rather than a direct download, 
but I simply do not remember.

Re: [libreoffice-users] last cursor position

2023-07-23 Thread Tim Lloyd 

Thomas,

this has got me beaten. It was supposed to be fixed in 7.5.0 but that
didn't happen.

I was advised that SHIFT-F5 takes you to your most recent edit ehich it
does. I ended up recording a macro of this keystroke until a fix is in
place.

BTW I am using Fedora 38

Regards

[libreoffice-users] Last cursor position

2015-07-14 Thread Thomas Blasejewicz 
Good evening
I (and other people all over the net) have brought up this before.
So, please bear with me ...

I would like the cursor to be upon opening documents where it was, when
I left the document.
Now I found in the LibreOffice documentation the following (took very
long!):
z
Cursor Position
In general, all documents open with the cursor at the start of the document.

One exception appears when the author of a Writer text document saves
and reopens a document: The cursor will be at the same position where it
has been when the document was saved. This only works when the name of
the author was entered in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - User Data.

Press Shift+F5 to set the cursor to the last saved position.
z
So, LO is greedy and allows the cursor to be at the last editing
position, when YOU are owner/author of the document.
I constantly have to work (translation, mostly Word files) on documents
that have been prepared by other people.
Is there a way to convince LO to be a little more generous?
If you have 50-100 page documents and EACH TIME have to scroll through
that thing to find where you were ... this is ANNOYING.

The Press Shift+F5 does not work at all.
At least I cannot make it work = it does NOTHING.
Is there a trick to this?
I imagine, this function COULD be very helpful ... if it were working ...

Thank you
Thomas
