Problem with line spacing

I’m using LibreOffice Writer to write a novel and the line-spacing is all messed up. Single, 1.5, double-spacing all on the same page.

I’ve tried Format-spacing, Windows key-paragraph and everything else – but nothing works.

Can you please help me?

Thank you.

It sounds to me that you’re not using paragraph styles. With styles, you set all kinds of parameters the way you want, and then you simply apply the style to you text, and in that one move all the parameters are imposed.

Then, if you open your template and make the changes there, any new document based on that template will retain the paragraph (and page) styles. You can set styles to hotkeys also.

Here’s a brief overview on styles.
