OK, found my previous note. I had misremembered some details. Here's an excerpt from my note.
A big problem for the compiled book was a difference in compatibility settings between most of the chapter files and the book master file. In Tools > Oprions > LibreOffice Writer > Compatibility, we must be sure to UNcheck the options for “Add spacing for paragraphs and tables (in current document)” and “Add paragraph and table spacing at tops of pages (in current document)”. With a few exceptions, the chapters were correct, but the master doc was not. I tracked another big problem down to the presence of hidden sections in the master document. They made cross-references to page numbers come out wrong. When I manually deleted the contents of the hidden sections, the problem went away. This is a bug. It’s been around for many years.
