Hello Howard I am using LO 7.2 with macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 and do not get the behaviour that you have described. Suggest you remove LO 7.2 using one of the available removal apps and then reinstall LO7.2. I use AppCleaner.
I am creating LO user guide for Impress and Draw using LO Writer. This means that I am using an LO template for user guides. One thing about templates, is that if you make changes to the template and you cannot then save the template as the same template file. You have to Save As creating a new template file and select the Writer template format OTT. I am not a software expert and do suggest that you raise a bug describing the problem.
