Thank you, I tried your document and it indeed demonstrated an unpleasant behaviour. May it is time to file a bug report in the hope that this can be corrected. I hope I am free to attach your example as well? 2016-09-09 21:07 GMT+02:00 Wiebe van der Worp : > On 07-09-16

More than one picture in a row, or even on the same page does seem to be common. >From the chapter on frames in my book: Throughout LibreOffice, frames are usually less trouble if you follow these best practices: - Add objects when the formatting and writing is done. The objects are less

Re: [libreoffice-users] Page formatting in writer goes nuts

Thanks for that information. The article do show that it actually is a known problem, a very old problem. I'm glad to see that. I have managed to reproduce a strange error regarding pictures using the LO Users Guide. There seem to be a case with a (large) picture anchored as character followed by

Re: [libreoffice-users] Page formatting in writer goes nuts

My questions were an effort to determine whether how you were using styles was the problem. Unfortunately, from your answers, I don't think so. However, there are some longstanding quirks in how frames and images work that usually kick in when there are lots of images. I don't know any easy

Re: [libreoffice-users] Page formatting in writer goes nuts

How do you actually apply page styles? Your description of what is happening sounds as though you have applied page styles simply by clicking on the page, but, from your last reply, that isn't what you have done. Does your Default style have itself as the next style? On September 5, 2016

Re: [libreoffice-users] Page formatting in writer goes nuts

I have only one page style, the *Default style*, where I have adjusted the margins a bit, no more. I guess I should have created my own page style. It could very well be that I have misused the styles concept for paragraphs and characters too. 2016-09-05 20:45 GMT+02:00 Bruce Byfield

Re: [libreoffice-users] Page formatting in writer goes nuts

Thanks, Minimizing the window did not have any effect. I have also tried to use master and sub-documents long time ago, not sure why I abandoned that idea but I think it was something with slowness or pagination errors during update of the master document. Besides I had to manually fix all

Re: [libreoffice-users] Page formatting in writer goes nuts

Thanks but I think I have those options under control, nothing strange there. Please note that the page formatting is fine just after loading the document. 2016-09-04 20:42 GMT+02:00 Tony Arnold : > Bo, > > On Sun, 2016-09-04 at 20:26 +0200, Bo Siltberg wrote: > > I

I have a large document with lots of pictures currently using LO 5.1.5.2. After doing some editing, the page formatting function kicks in automatically but does a bad job, inserting page breaks randomly and lots of empty pages in sequence. The total page count may increase with some 10% due to
