Working in LibreOffice 6.2 on a Thinkpad x201 running Linux Mint 17 I can create new writer documents, save them and the cursor is held at the position last used when I reopen them. But if I load a document created under v5x then the cursor goes to some random position rather than to the last position. I’ve followed the procedures from other posts to set the user data, but to no effect.
The position of the cursor is stored, for if I do a shift F5 then the correct position is found.
Is there a hack I can do to the file to make it perform as if it was created under v6? Copy and paste is not an option, since I am a novelist and the files (typically 220 pages and 80Kb words) use a number of styles, fonts and other enhancements.
