I’m trying to write a word document, and it keeps shifting paragraphs of a few lines to next page, how do I stop this happening, it does it to every page.Please excuse my ignorance, but still trying to figure out how Libre Office Writer works, thanks
Do you meant an MS .doc or .docx format document? Or it is a native .odt format Writer document?
.
Note: there is not (never was and never will be) 100% compatibility between the different file formats.
.
Can you upload a sample file here? Then we will able to examine the settings of the applied Paragraph Style and/or direnct (manual) formatting properties.
Corrected: .odt
First you should understand that there are good typographical reasons, or at least conventions for this behaviour, see Widows and orphans - Wikipedia
The setting to alter in the paragraph style you are using (normally Body Text) is in the Text Flow tab, where you can set the number of lines for Widows and for Orphans
