Go to "View > Non-Printer Characters". This will show the paragraph
breaks, etc.
Position the cursor within a paragraph or select (highlight) desired
paragraphs.
Open "Format > Paragraph" and go to the "Indents & Spacing Tab".
You can view and change spacing setting here.

I’m using LibreOffice Writer to write a novel and the line-spacing

messed up. Single, 1.5, double-spacing all on the same page.
I’ve tried Format-spacing, Windows-paragraph and everything else

nothing works.
Can you please help me?
Thank you
What I do, is the following:
When I have imported a file from MSOffice and get problems like you
are
describing, I copy (Ctrl-C) the problematic paragraph, delete the
problematic paragraph, make a new one with the desired paragraph
style en
paste the text with Ctrl-Shif-Alt-V. This way of pasting deletes all
formatting from the text and accepts the style of the chosen
paragraph.
Later I delete al superfluous Windows styles that encumber the
document.
I hope this helps; good luck.

I found my documents (LO) accumulated a pile of rubbish, styles, etc.
from documents I import from. Copy/pasting from word docs copies the
styles into the LO doc.
When I merge content from multiple documents (.doc, .docx, .odt, PDFs)
into my documents I use an intermediary document to cleanse the
copy/pasted content and apply the styles I want before copy/pasting
again into my final document and this way my final document only has
the look and styles I want.

Ctr-Shift-Alt-V (yes, a four key "shortcut") do the same than Paste
special → Without formatting so it gives you a "clean" text ;)

I found this created problems for me, ok with straight text. I often
copy whole chapters with diagrams, tables, images and various text.
Pasting without formatting took me longer to fix up than using an
intermediate document to clean styles up before pasting into my final
document.
