Thanks for all the responses.
I always use odt.
My researches came up with putting a line border around the page content in pale grey, but it does not look right. The top one is too high, and the others are very slightly off. I depend on the borders to see instantly if the justification is set right.
I think I found the problem. Somehow the change in 'spacing below paragraph' has been set to default value. Since I reduce this slightly on a pagefull of paras at a time to make the text fit on the page neatly, the effect was cumulative through the document.
However, at this point I am regretfully throwing in the towel on Libre. I am very slow to learn keyboard shortcuts but I depend on them totally. Things I use all day every day such as insert date or export to pdf are different, but I instinctively go on doing them the same. This dog seems to be a bit too old to learn the new tricks.
