Description: When editing a paragraph style, I'd like to see an option that would justify all the paragraphs vertically. Adding an entry to "Spacing" (see Paragraph style) would operate with the space between the paragraphs, and (optional) adding the entry to "Line spacing" would operate with the space between individual lines of the paragraphs. Setting both of them would distribute the spacing between the two cases based on the ratio of the line spacing to the spacing between paragraphs. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select multiple paragraphs. 2. Right click selected, choose "Paragraph..." 3. Make sure you're looking at "Indents & Spacing" Actual Results: There are no options (e.g. check-boxes) described above. Expected Results: A check-box or something like that allowing to enable vertical justification of the selected paragraphs with respect to entire page. Reproducible: Didn't try User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: So far I've been going around it by manually selecting all the empty paragraphs and setting their font sizes. I'm sorry for my poor English, feel free to correct me if you don't mind. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Can't say I'm a fan. The function you describe is not vertical justification, but rather would be a distribution--and would corrupt structural control of paragraph line spacing. In our ODF implementation, paragraph line spacing is set directly, as calculated against font metrics, with additional attributes for spacing above/below paragraph objects. Desired vertical distribution can be done now using tables and single line cell paragraphs. So WFM, and would say WONTFIX for the RFE.
Following Stuart here, vertical alignment in terms of top/center/bottom is restricted to tables and frames (link html is). These two methods are well suited and more than a workaround. If we talk about vertical _distribution_ and in particular 'spacing' things are rather handled with Draw where the feature is built.in.
