I have tried this out.  If you just put the cursor somewhere then Close
without saving, the cursor position is not remembered.  If you have to Save
on Closing, then it will be remembered, otherwise the position remembered
will be where it was when the document is last Saved.  Of course, by
default, you cannot Save a document that has not been modified, but you can
change that in Tools > Options... > General.  If you do change that option,
and remember to Save before Close, then you will go back to the last page
even if you were just viewing it and providing you moved the cursor to it
as well.

I think that is the definitive answer, but I will stand corrected, if it is
not.

I would like for a document (any document) to open to the last page that I
was on when I closed it.  I have a large document.  When I go back, I always
have to locate where I left off work.  I started just never closing the
document, which I dont like to do.

Actually it will go to the last page that your mouse cursor was on.  if 
you want it to go to a particular place when you open it again, all you 
have to do is place your cursor there.  (I am not sure if it will do 
this if you completely close the file, but if you minimize it, it 
certainly will, and that is what you should do with any document that 
you expect to soon return to).

Hasn't there been a command like "jump to the last position of cursor"?
I'd like that more than an document opening at a "random" position.

Thank you for clarification. The talk about some feature I rembered
was so long in the past and I am getting old ;-)

Because it has not been dropped. It behaves just as in OOo: When the
data in user-data doesn't match the data in the document properties
(or is empty), this means for LO → open at first page. If user-data is
filled out (Name), and it matches the document properties
(creted/saved by), then it will open at saved cursor position, i.e.
last edit position.

Nope, nothing like that.

I remember we have had this feature in a former OOo-version, but I do
not remember why it has been dropped. Maybe related to a change in the
ODF-format.

Anybody else?

2012-01-07 Thread ScCrow
I did not find this in my searches or anything in the LibreOffice options. 
So, sorry if its there and I just did not find it.

I would like for a document (any document) to open to the last page that I
was on when I closed it.  I have a large document.  When I go back, I always
have to locate where I left off work.  I started just never closing the
document, which I dont like to do.

So, to me it would be a nice feature, and I would think, easy to add.  I
realize it may go to the last page I edited, not the last page I was
viewing.  Thats ok with me, still, either or both would be a good added
feature.
