I don't understand why things seem to change when you re-open a
document, but to start with you should not be creating a new page by
adding blank lines, as you seem to be doing. If you want to start a new
page, you should use Insert > PageBreak, or the corresponding keyboard
shortcut. Page breaks created that way are much more stable.

I use the OpenOfficeWriter/Text Document feature of Open Office 4. I have been
havingtrouble with page breaks. I have a multi-page document I use to keeptrack
of workout progress, with discrete sections each occupying onepage. I
frequently make changes on it. I like to have the top line ofa section begin at
the top of the page. If I make a change such asadding a line that causes the
top line, hence the whole text, of thefollowing page to get pushed lower on the
page, I go to that page andfix that using the backspace key. I always save the
changes. Thetrouble I'm having is that saving the changes doesn't do the
trick.The textual changes remain, but I'll pull the document up again laterand
the page breaks are screwed up despite the fact that I got themthe way I wanted
them and saved everything the last time I had thedocument open. Please advise.
