The top half shows 4 pages from the original .odt file.
Problem description:
When I merge sub-documents into a Master document the format of the inserted
sub-document changes. Every now and again it will insert several blank pages,
or put the 1st line of a paragraph that started on a new page at the bottom of
the previous page. It tends to insert blank pages where a paragraph of text is
followed by a graphical image - but not in every case.
My 4 sub-documents that I am trying to merge into one relate to 4 Parts to a
book I have written, and each Part (sub-document) contains up to 20 Chapters
(the complete book is 50 Chapters long).
I use style "Heading 1" for the Chapter headings, immediately followed by
either some "body text" and/or an embedded image (anchored to paragraph). Some
images are less than a full page, others take up a complete page. The font I
use for Headings is Airial 14, but Garamond 12 for all the other text.
I have tried dozens of times inserting a sub-document into a Master, making
subtle small changes each time, but I can never get the inserted document to
mirror image the original.
Strange thing is if I use the "ExportasPDF" command on each document, then
merge each PDF document into one using a piece of PDF merger software I get
exactly the results I should get. The merged PDF file has been accepted by a
Publisher.
However I need a merged .odt document in order to produce a "kindle" version
using kindlegen software.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open .odt document, check it, and save it.
2. Open a new Master document and insert the .odt document.
3. Check inserted file and it is much bigger than original with inserted blank
page here and there, and new page paragraphs not starting on a new page.
Have had same results with more than one sub-document.
Current behavior:
As described above.
Expected behavior:
Would like inserted document to look like original.
