How to Start a Paragraph Always on a New Page in LibreOffice

When working on a document in LibreOffice, you may face situations where you want to maintain a specific formatting style, particularly when dealing with multiple paragraphs. A common challenge users encounter is wanting each paragraph to begin on a new page. This need arises in various contexts, such as reports, academic papers, or any structured documentation where clarity and organization are paramount. In this guide, we will outline the steps you can take to ensure that each of your chosen paragraphs starts on a new page, regardless of how much content is added to the preceding paragraphs.

The Problem: Continuous Flow of Paragraphs

As illustrated in your scenario, if you have three paragraphs on one page and decide to add content to the first paragraph, the subsequent two will automatically shift downwards. This can become problematic if you want to maintain strict segmentation, where each paragraph stands independently, starting on a fresh page.

The Solution: Utilizing Page Breaks

To achieve this desired formatting in LibreOffice, you'll need to utilize the Paragraph Style settings. Below are step-by-step instructions to set this up effectively.

Step 1: Open Paragraph Options

Select your paragraphs: Highlight the text of the paragraphs you want to format.

Access the Paragraph menu: Navigate to the menu and click on Format.

Open the Paragraph settings: From the drop-down, select Paragraph to open the paragraph settings window.

Step 2: Configure Text Flow Settings

Select the Text Flow tab: Within the paragraph properties window, find and click on the Text Flow tab.

Add a page break: Under the Breaks subsection, check the box next to Insert.

Set the type: For Type, select Page.

Choose the position: Under Position, select Before.

This configuration ensures that whenever you apply this style to any paragraph, it will always start on a new page before the text begins.

Step 3: Create a Custom Paragraph Style (Recommended)

Rather than modifying the default paragraph style — which may have unintended repercussions on your entire document — it’s best to create a custom style:

Open Styles list: Press F11 on your keyboard to open the Styles and Formatting window.

Create a new style: Right-click on the Paragraph Styles and select New.

Name your style: Give your new style a clear name that represents its function, e.g., "New Page Paragraph".

Apply previous settings: In this new style, repeat the steps from Step 2: navigate to the Text Flow tab and set the page break options.

Apply to paragraphs: Once your custom style is created, apply it to the paragraphs that need to start on a new page.

Conclusion

With these simple steps, you can effortlessly format your LibreOffice document to ensure that each specified paragraph starts on a new page. This organizational tool not only enhances readability but also provides a professional touch to your documents. Remember to leverage custom styles for better document management and avoid impacting other parts of your work unintentionally.

By following these guidelines, you’ll be well-equipped to tackle formatting issues as they arise, keeping your documents clear and structured!
