Description:
When working in "book mode" (edit>view>zoom>"zoom and view layout"), libre
office writer will insert blank pages to make page No. 1 a right-hand page.
Documentation like operational manuals often have complex page numbering
like "CHAPTER.SUBCHAPTER-PAGENUMBER", where page number is reset to 1 with
every new sub-chapter (This allows for easy insertion or removal of pages
during the lifetime of the product without affecting the page numbering of
the whole document). In this type of document, having auto-inserted blank
pages every 4 or 5 pages overly inflates the document.
If you do not want the automatic "odd pages right", you have to use different
settings in the page styles. The settings "right and left" and "mirrored" have
the automatic "odd pages right". But you can set "only left" and "only right".
These put the content left and right respectively regardless of the page
number.
You will likely need a first page style (without footer), a left page style and
a right page style. To get an automatic change between right and left, you set
"Next style" reciprocally.
Shortcoming of such left-right-alternating is, that when inserting a page break
you need to know whether the new page will be a right or left one to choose the
correct style in the dialog. And you will have to change page breaks, if you
later on notice, that you have to add a further page in between.
For me this is a "works for me".
