--- Comment #1 from LibreTraining <[email protected]> ---
I started with ShadowHunt-CS-PageFmtNew,Bad-obfusc.odt
1. Deleted all comments to see if some hidden characters were adding space
No change
2. Turned-off Justification (ugh, hate the mess justification makes)
No change (but a lot easier to read)
3. Removed all manual formatting
Ctrl+A to select all.
Crtl+M to remove manual formatting
That had an effect - more pages now go to the bottom of the page.
4. Looked at Page Style is saw being used - Convert 8
Page size was set to:
- Width 5.00 in
- Height 7.99 in
Changed Height to 8.00 in.
That had an effect - more pages now go to the bottom of the page.
The pages with just text now all seem to go to the bottom.
Chapter pages will still have a gap.
This is due to the chapter title font selected in points and the space
before/after paragraph selected in inches will not evenly fit in the page
height selected.
You have a mix of point sizes and inches.
The only way to make sure all pages fix exactly into the page size within the
margins is to use points and picas everywhere.
That way you can align everything into a grid which fit exactly into the page.
That way you can make the chapter titles a particular point size and set
before/after paragraph in point which will make your pages align to say a 12
point grid.
You cannot set a page size in inches, a font size in points, a before/after
paragraph spacing in inches - and expect everything to fit.
Also LibreOffice makes rounding errors with font sizes which are not exactly an
integer size. I think 10.5, 11.5, etc. does work properly, but other font sizes
like 10.3 will not be sized properly. There is a bad bug in LO.
If you are serious about book publishing take the time to learn how to use
points and picas.
It will make your life much easier.
