     I opened the file using LO 3.4.6 and 3.5.4. Both of them opened 
your file Line 1 page 1. I have Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit using the DEB's from 
the LO website.
     As a test, I opened a document that I had worked on yesterday. The 
cursor was blinking at the very point that I finished editing the document.
     Why it would open a document to the place where work ended before 
but not do this for another document is the real question.
