I normally make my books starting with LibreOffice in the 'text body' "style" and the file is .odt. Then in LibreOffice I turn the .odt into an .html. Then I clean up the .html in the text editor Kate. Then I import the .html file into Sigil, where I make the epub.

Well, in order to make the paperback in Createspace I (in LibreOffice) exported the .odt into a pdf. Well, it turns out the line spacing is all funky. Espeically a little extra space between the first and second lines of every paragraph. The Createspace person send me a screenshot. (attached)

Then (mildly freaking) I turned my .odt into a .docx (in LibreOffice) and opened the .docx in Word 2010. The line spacing was normal.

But (back to the Sigil-made epubs) that got me wondering if using LibreOffice to make the .odt was throwing my line spacing off for the .epub too. Now I have stared at my Kindle till I don't even know what the heck I'm seeing and the spacing if not perfect, is pretty darn close to being right, but my question is, considering my work flow (as in the first paragraph) to make the .epub the way I do, is it possible that the line spacing could be goofy in the finished .epub (and hence the eBook as well)?

And then another question. If I have to, and I turn the .odt to a .docx in LibreOffice and I open the .docx in Word 2010 and I go to turn it into an .html there, do I choose "Single File Web Page" or "Web Page" or "Web Page, Filtered"?

Thanks
