Just a guess but it sounds like you are describing the behavior of a document that has even-odd page formatting. Also check to see if perhaps section breaks are being inserted instead of page breaks.
I thought that might be the case after reading some bug reports on OO's website. But I'm not doing even-odd (right-left) pages. One thing I do notice is that some pages are page style first page, others are default. In online layout mode, I have two pages instead of 109. If I open up print preview and then close I suddenly get 117 pages! The extra 8 pages being the ones that I can delete and have them magically reappear. How do I determine if I have a page break as opposed to a section break? Also some pages with tables don't allow me to alter the page. Now you must realize, I did nothing special in creating this document. Everything was using the defaults of OO.

The only other morsel I can offer without seeing the document is to try opening up the Stylist and making sure that every page in your document has the default page style. To do this: CTRL-A to highlight all of it. Click on Page Styles button in the Stylist, double click on Default.
I was thinking of MS Office where the section and page breaks are different. In OO you may choose to change page styles at a page break but there's no section break that can start a new page. Sections are used for logic and to break between single and multi-column sections.
