I changed my Writer to Points to see your settings.
You have your body text Line Spacing set to Single.
Which basically means in effect your leading is 0.
So your line heights are going to be your font character height.
Your current page style settings:
575pt page height
- 29pt top margin
- 22 bottom margin
= 524pt available vertical space
524pt/12 = 43.67 picas (odd number)
524pt / 10.5pt text = 49.9047619047619 lines of text per page (odd number)
525pt / 10.5pt = 50 lines (even number)
Not sure why you have a 575pt page height
8 inches = 576pt
This is why I saw 7.99in when I still had Writer set to inches.
And this is why when I set the page height to 8in (576pt)
I ended up with 525pts of vertical space
which fit exactly 50 lines of 10.5pt body text.
You definitely have some manual formatting.
Clear it all out.
This is the only reason some of your pages went to the bottom.
Do Ctrl+A and Ctrl+M ... and look at the doc, your "good" pages are gone.
Think about a vertical grid which is evenly divisible, say 12pts.
Take your 10.5pt body text, add Leading 1.5pt = 12pts.
So any available page height which is full picas (12pts ea.) will fit exactly.
48pica page height (8in) - 4pica top and bottom margins = 40 picas vertical =
40 lines of text exactly.
Your title pages are a little more complicated.
But again if you think about the vertical grid it can all fit exactly.
Your font point size, leading, before/after spacing, etc. should all add up to
fit in the 12pts grid.
Your Chapter Title style currently has 14pt font size + 9pt after paragraph =
23pt vertical space.
23 is a prime number which is not going fit in any grid (except 23).
Change your Chapter Title style to 14pt font size + 10pt after paragraph = 24pt
vertical space.
That will take exactly two lines in our 12pt vertical grid.
Or you could do an 11pt grid.
Just make sure the title text, body text, and the vertical page size all evenly
divide into it.
Actually 10pt body type with 1pt leading may be easier to read.
Or you could just fix the page size (576) which will make the vertical space
525pt
and then change the title styler to fit in 2 lines (10.5pt * 2 = 21pt).
So 14pt font + 7pt after = 21pt.
"Normal" would be 10/12 - 10pt font size + 2 pt leading = 12pt line height
Your text is currently kinda cramped - makes it harder to read.
Or do whatever.
Go wild.
The .5 on the body font size can make the calculations interesting...be aware.
I would get rid of all those page styles - you probably only really need three.
And rename them something descriptive rather than "Convert 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, etc."
So ....
- set your page size properly
- set your margins to give yourself an evenly divisible vertical space
- change all your text styles to fit in your vertical grid
Your pages will fill exactly every time.
