Re: [libreoffice-users] Help with extra space at bottom of pages.

Hello Leam,

I suggest try the following...

Open your document then...
Ctrl+A

This will select *everything* in the document

Then right-click to bring up the context menu

Click on the "Paragraph..." option

In the dialog box that appears click the "Text Flow" tab

At the bottom of this tab in the "Options" tic "Do not split paragraph". If
this is not available clear the tics in "Orphan control" and "Window
control". Once that's done it should be possible to tic "Do not split
paragraph".

Now go back through your document with "View > Non-printing characters"
enabled. Delete all the extra paragraphs you've inserted to cause your
paragraphs to display in their entirety on one page.

With "Do not spit paragraph" enabled your paragraphs will not split across
pages.
