AG, I've just confirmed: Gianluca's method causes the cursor to do what
you want, in OOo but not in LibO. A bug? or a deliberate change in what
is affected by that setting? I don't know. And you are right -- nowhere
I can find does anything to say that the cursor's saved position is
going to be saved (or not) based on that box being ticked and your name
and initials being in the User Data dialog, nor do I have any idea why
these things should be connected. It's incredibly obscure, but it works
in OOo.
