Contains the good version of the doc, the bad version, and a screen shot
After making lots of edits to my book today, I noticed there'd been an increase
in the total number of pages. I eventually tracked it down to the number of
lines per page dropping by 1, because it LO is now reserving an extra blank
line at the bottom of the page.
I've included a screen shot that shows a page from an earlier version of the
book on the left (before I accidentally changed some setting, and several weeks
older), and a page from the current version of my book on the right, with the
extra blank line area highlighted. (I think I changed some setting by clicking
the Reset button on one of the Page style tabs when examining the Convert8
style; but it appeared to have no effect at the time, so I assumed, perhaps
wrongly, that it had done nothing.)
The screen shot is from a page of the book before I did a simple obfuscation.
The two attached .odt files are obfuscated (because the book will be published
on Amazon soon).
The sample file with the mysterious "blank line" at the bottom of almost every
page filled with text. Exactly five pages, however, don't suffer the problem.
In the file ShadowHunt-CS-PageFmtNew,Bad-obfusc.odt, these 5 good pages are
p189, p192-194, and p525.
Surely, if every setting in every property tab of a page style is the same, the
pages should be laid out the same? Or, if there is some other property that
affects the page style, shouldn't it be included somewhere in some tab for a
page's style?
As far as I can see, every aspect of the Page style in the page style causing
the problem ("Convert8"), is identical between the earlier book and the new
one, but all settings seemed identical.
There are exactly 5 pages that don't have the extra blank line at the bottom:
the first one occurs on p189. It is the same page style ("Convert8"), and
examining every property on every tab of the page style for Convert8, I can see
no difference for this page. But it has the number of lines per page that I
want. Only p189, p192-194, and p525 are correct.
The attached .zip file contains:
Old (good) page layout version: ShadowHunt-CS-PageFmtOld,Good-obfusc.odt
New (bad) page layout version: ShadowHunt-CS-PageFmtNew,Bad-obfusc.odt
Screen shot of a typical wrong page (on the right) and a correct page (on the
left), on the unobfuscated versions of the novel:
