Specify your needs. Why HTML format?
Solution: Insert frames including sections. Sections can be linked with other sections of different files.
Or: Define a table with firm length and height of cells (columns/rows) and include sections.

Does this mean the A4 format or the smaller one? Full pages show similar.

The .txt format doesn't store any formatting information. It is text only. If you wan't to preserve formatting, use the default .odt format.
