You can create LibreOffice documents using the OpenDocument text exporter. Type C-c C-e O in the org buffer. If you export this way, the *.odt file will not have any newline issues. I am not sure why you are copy, pasting when there is a better alternative. --
Re: [O] Is there a way to selectively change the line spacing for visual line mode?
Thanks Brian, but that does not help me adjust the line spacing or height of a line. I use emacs24 for organising, programming in Python, PHP and for writing fiction. Visual line mode is perfect except for the minor irritation of my having to put in that extra linefeed to clearly visually separate paragraphs. Being able to turn visual mode off is handy too - each paragraph ends up on one line - its effectively folding for fiction ;) - very handy when scanning a 10k+ word story. The 'enhancement' I'm after is being able to make the explicit newline take up more screen height than the implicit newline used in visual-line-mode so that there is no need to put in two explicit newlines to separate paragraphs clearly. I think this would be universally appreciated. I guess I could possibly dig into the code and rebind the line-spacing within the visual-line-mode relevant scope but it would take me an age to work out how to do that.
