Hi all,
Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm using 2.0.1, and yes, I have all my user
information filled in. It's very strange.
...
Up to yesterday, whenever I called up a file it came up with the
cursor at the last position it had been at. Since this morning, the
cursor is at the very top of each document, whether old or new, when I
call up the document.
Which version are you using? 2.0 or 1.1.5?
Have you entered your user-informations in the OOo-dialogue? Your name
is necessary in OOo 2.0.x. Additionally, you'll have to select "Recovery
| Edit-view" (or something similar - since I'm using only the German
version) under Tools - Options.
Hope this helps you.
I don't know with which version the behaviour changed.
OpenOffice used to always store the cursor position when the douments
view was closed and restored the view to that position when it was
opened. I also liked this a lot because it was an easy way to have a
'bookmark' of the position where to continue with reading.
Unfortunately at some point it was decided that this is not what the
average user would want because reading should start from the first
page. So now the the documents always gets opened with the view on the
first page. That is unless you are the author! In that case the last
position is used because it was assumed the author usually want's to
continue writing the document.
That's why it should be essential if the your user info matches the one
stored with the document.
Unfortunately there also was no option introduced to allow the user to
customize this behaviour. The only thing done was to introduce a
keyboard shortcut (I think it was sth like Shift-F5) to return the
cursor to the last editing position which should be pretty much what you
and I wanted to have by default.
I personally still would prefer the old solution though. :-/
Regards,
Thomas
