You’ll see the page numbers below the preview on the left decrease accordingly. We currently are evaluating the latest release of LibreOffice to see if we can replace Microsoft Office with it entirely as we've. When you go to print your OpenOffice or LibreOffice document, go to the Open-/LibreOffice Writer tab and un-check the box to “print automatically inserted blank pages”. As noted previously, LibreOffice blows Google Docs ( G Suite) out of the water in terms of singular application quality, and comes close but misses the mark as a drop-in replacement to Microsoft Office. After finagling around a bit trying to find out how to remove these blank pages based on where and how I add breaks and page numbering, I discovered the easy solution. Mostly what I print from word processors are contracts, memos, faxes, and letters, so the whole book format doesn’t matter to me and the blank pages are basically just a royal pain. If you fiddle with the page numbering or page breaks, you may find yourself with blank pages inserted to “help” you keep your “book”‘s odd/even pages properly lined up. Libre- and OpenOffice do this because of their insistence upon interpreting every document as a “book”, with left and right pages. These insidious pages won’t show until you go to print the document.

The word processors of both LibreOffice and OpenOffice free open-source office suites have an annoying habit of inserting blank pages in documents.
