No idea of the problem, but you might be able to work around it by
slightly adjusting line spacing (which I just asked about yesterday -
and got very good answers) to adjust the vertical dimension.

Greetings:
I recently discovered that the print output of a document composed in
SCREENWRITER (the gold standard for screenplay formatting; you can
try the demo at
http://www.screenplay.com/products/mmscreenwriter/index.html) is
slightly different in size than the same document printed out in
OpenOffice/NeoOffice. It's not a different in font size, but rather
that OOo/NeoO's printout is somewhat "swollen" such that when both it
and SCREENWRITER's document are compared by superimposing both pages
against a bright light, OOo's rendering is larger by more than a
line's height and a few characters in width. It's as though line
spacing in OOo is minutely larger than printouts by other word
processors. As a check, I did the superimpose match trick with the
same document printed by Mariner Write and both it and SCREENWRITER's
pages are exactly twins to a pixel.
Is there a way to adjust the printout size of a OOo/NeoO document,
and if so, can it be "fine-tuned" to that small a degree?
Thanks for any hints!

It probably has to do with the way that OOo handles kerning and line
spacing. I read an excellent set of articles on this in the last few
months, but I can not find links to them :-(
