Using Libre Writer, I create many different files that are quite long, so it’s a bit bothersome that after each page I finish, there is a space automatically placed between the one I just filled and the next I start on. There must be a setting, that would switch to one long page, instead of numerous spaces throughout the page file I am on. Can anyone advise me how to change this? Thank you.

I don’t think there is such a setting.
However … if it’s important for you …
If you are using one single page style, and you never insert hard page breaks, and you don’t need to see where page wrapping will create pages later, and you don’t need the pagination, and you also don’t use headers and/or footers, and …and you can accept all the additional disadvantages of a way nobody else goes, … you can create a “fake page style” not for printing, but for editing only, which can be up to 600 cm long. You will see very few page gaps then.
If actually only the freely flowing text is relevant for you, and … you can -as an alternative- also switch to >View>Web only during editing …
In advance of printing you need to set the realistic page style and view again, which will cause Writer to create the page wrapping.
I clicked on a check-mark as suggested and emphasized it, but trying to click to upvote on them, I was given an error saying I needed 5 points to click, thus there is no upvote, but I did try. At least, I tried to do it right. Thanks again. Cestmoila21
I got a response from AskLibO Administrator, and it had 2 methods to accomplish what I wanted. The first was a long. drawn out process for material I needed for extensive use, which I don’t since what I create, is only for myself. I’m 68, retired, thus I use what I create, for myself. It’s a Hobby, so the Second reply. switch to >View>Web, did what I was hoping to accomplish, making it all into one continuous page, which as I continue on with it, it’s like I am editing it, so that the 2nd one works. Easy, but it helps to knowing the way it works, for sure. Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it.

You didn’t describe the type of document you create.
Is it a kind a collection of notes where rich formatting does not matter? In this case, the simplest and “best” solution is to use a text editor like NotePad, TextEdit, KWrite or gedit (depending on your OS).
