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

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.
