Page Formatting in Abiword and LibreOffice-25.2

 I managed to Finish my book on Sleep, Dreams and Biorhythms in Abiword and it amounted to 184 pages.
I opened it up in LibreOffice, 25.2 and bit of fiddling it saved it as an odt file.
I got 250 pages bonus.
Addition of 65 pages to my work load.
I opened it in Abiword and fount it contained 252 pages without Macros.
 
What it had done was to increase the Top or Header to 2.14 inches.
No Footer which I always have to make the pages look all the same.
What it had down was to make my 5.5 and 8.5 inches pages have less space for words. 
It is no "brainer" for me to adjust page layout if I wanted to make my book expand to 200 pages. 
I am not a fiddler on the roof.
 
The bottom line is if I opened my book on "Linux Essentials" which has gone above 400 pages in Abiwords, would be over 600 pages. 
I am considering to makes edges smaller to bring it to 300 pages.
 
It has one two page layouts.
Title and
Standard page
 
It cannot make seamless section breaks and page breaks.
