[libreoffice-users] saving as docx turned very paragraph into a page break
A 3 page resume turned into 28 pages when saving as DOCX, because almost every paragraph got turned into a page break. I've seen some posts concerning hard page breaks that can't be fully deleted (they show up if you save/load a docx format), but in my case I had only 3-4 page breaks to start with. How did I end up with 28? I really want to save as DOCX for portability reasons (many companies won't accept ODT or PDF).

Try saving as doc not docx. The older format is still read by MSO and is often less problematic. What is your OS?

Hi :) Try Doc instead of DocX. File - Save As ... - File Types - Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP/2003 Many companies are unaware of what format they receive as long as it opens. MS Office 2013 and Office 365 now open Odt, the right Odt. MS Office 2007 and 2010 opened the ancient version of Odt but 2013 and 365 open the one that everyone else is using. So Odt kinda works even on those. So, it's rapidly getting better for Odt but we are still probably not quite fully there yet. Quite a lot of companies are still on MS Office 2003 and just about to leap-frog onto 2010 or 2013. Still the best format right now for sharing is probably still the old Doc. For storing documents i think Odt is probably better now.
