I don't know if I understood your problem but if I did, did you know that the master document has it's own format for headers and body text? I mean, even if you setted "Liberation serif 11" for you body text in one o all the subs, if IN the master body text is setted in "Tahoma 14", all the body text inserted with the subdocument WILL BE in "Tahoma 14" Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDINFO status with no change for at least 6 months.

Created attachment 69239 [details] The top half shows 4 pages from the original .odt file. Problem description: When I merge sub-documents into a Master document the format of the inserted sub-document changes. Every now and again it will insert several blank pages, or put the 1st line of a paragraph that started on a new page at the bottom of the previous page. It tends to insert blank pages where a paragraph of text is followed by a graphical image - but not in every case. My 4 sub-documents that I am trying to merge into one relate to 4 Parts to a book I have written, and each Part (sub-document) contains up to 20 Chapters (the complete book is 50 Chapters long). I use style "Heading 1" for the Chapter headings, immediately followed by either some "body text" and/or an embedded image (anchored to paragraph). Some images are less than a full page, others take up a complete page. The font I use for Headings is Airial 14, but Garamond 12 for all the other text. I have tried dozens of times inserting a sub-document into a Master, making subtle small changes each time, but I can never get the inserted document to mirror image the original. Strange thing is if I use the "ExportasPDF" command on each document, then merge each PDF document into one using a piece of PDF merger software I get exactly the results I should get. The merged PDF file has been accepted by a Publisher. However I need a merged .odt document in order to produce a "kindle" version using kindlegen software. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open .odt document, check it, and save it. 2. Open a new Master document and insert the .odt document. 3. Check inserted file and it is much bigger than original with inserted blank page here and there, and new page paragraphs not starting on a new page. Have had same results with more than one sub-document. Current behavior: As described above. Expected behavior: Would like inserted document to look like original.
