Writer document which should open on page 7 if cursor position works

Writer .ODT documents created with version 4.3 or 4.4 do not store (or do not store properly) the last edited position.

When opening a file created with any version before 4.3 the author could resume work from last position (or nearby, as explained in Bug #51217).

With a file created with Writer 4.3 or newer version, opening the file will always show cursor at the first character.

The attached example should open in page 7 after the sentence "Add some text here!" if the User name is set to First Last but instead it opens on the firstpage.

For an example of a file created in a previous version where cursor position does work, see Bug #51217
