Using Impress Version: 6.0.7.3 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, when I add to text in a
slide the font size automatically reduces to keep the text within the text box.
Can I prevent this auto resizing of the font?
If so, how do I do this?

Just a thought. Ubuntu 18.10 is a new distro and less thoroughly tested than
the LTS version 18.04.
If you do not get this problem in 18.04 perhaps you should stay with that for a

LO connects to CUPS on start not when you want to print So if you
have LO open for a while the connection to CUPS will time out. You need
to set your CUPS timeout short enough so that it will time out
eventually but long enough so that CUPS doesn't drop
