[libreoffice-users] Last cursor position
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 ...

[libreoffice-users] Open LO files via IE Explorer
I have another question. I noticed, since I am using Windows 8.1 (2-3 months ago), currently LO Version: 4.4.3.2, that attempts at opening files from the IE Explorer (this thing seems to have another name, but can't remember it) file view VERY OFTEN (almost always) fail. With fail I mean: I have for example one Writer and one Calc file open. No errors at all, just ordinary work. Then I click on a WRITER/CALC file somewhere on my disks. - Nothing happens. No matter what I try. - I close the Writer/Calc files one by one. Still nothing happens. - I close LibreOffice - immediately a file recovery screen opens and tells me, it is recovering the files I was working on. - Once that is done, the file I clicked in the Explorer view ALSO opens. This did NOT happen with my old Windows XP machines, not on 3 different Linux machines and as far as I remember not with earlier versions of LibreOffice. Does anybody know anything about this?

What I think is happening is this (it happened to me on Mac OS X also): The previous time you had LO open it crashed. Now you double-click a file and LO opens. Because of the crash it opens the recovery dialog, but then it immediately opens the file that you double-clicked, and that window obscures the recovery dialog. However, LO wants you to finish the recovery dialog first, so it refuses to do anything else. So what you can do is switch windows until the recovery dialog gets focus and finish it. Then the opened file can be worked on. I think LO should always give focus to the recovery dialog, even if there is a file opened. -- Piet van Oostrum p...@vanoostrum.org WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
