You are mistaken. Mistake for the entire time it took me to write this book? https://www.theminimumyouneedtoknow.com/soa_book.html I think not. > > > This isn't really a duplicate of bug 112740 > > though it has been marked as such. > > Yes it is. It asks to restore position in DOCX, as it does for ODT (comment > 3). What you write in comment 11 (and in bug 112740 comment 6) is a > *different* feature request - please file it separately. Thank you. No, it's not a *different* feature. I'm pointing out the train wreck short sighted development will create if they go down the route of saving the last user position as a bookmark in the file. I've written a ___lot___ of books. Not once have I had last user position survive moving a document between machines with any word processor on any OS. Today's reality is that many different users will edit the exact same file from a NAS or DropBox type location. If you store the last position within the file itself you create a train wreck with "last one in wins" and you will create an avalanche of bug reports claiming the last position feature doesn't work because each user will get the last position of whoever was in the file last, not the last position from their last edit session on their machine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
