With those OS/2 work area folders, you don't have to select anything, beyond opening the folder. When it opens, all the documents that had been open previously would open again, taking you back to exactly where you were when you closed it previously. It even survives reboots, which virtual desktops don't. -- 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
