Many thanks for the suggestion. But my problem is not exchanging files with Word
(I wouldn't touch Word, not even with a stick ;-), but moving the same Writer
file (written with "bitstream Vera font) between two PC's running the same
Openoffice version.

If you look in this document on page 8

you will read that apparently Word's character spacing is tighter than
Writer's, so often it will fit more words to a line (it also mentions
that the spacing may also be a different size). This is part of the
documentation for the OpenOffice project if you are not familiar with
it, if you go to the parent directory you will be able to see other such
documentation. This is likely the problem that you are having. This
document mentions many of the formatting problems one can come accross
in working between Word and Writer. Goodluck
Robert
