I filed an issue on the subject and attached a single page Impress
document and two PDF files (generated on the laptop and on the desktop,
respectively) which clearly show the problem.
many thanks,
l.f.

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
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide1/migrationguide/SharingFiles.pdf
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

Can you please file an issue and attach the file so I can test this with my
computer and laptop.
The best way to have problems such as this evaluated is to file an
issue. Issued are used to both report defects in the software and to
propose that new features be added. For instructions on how to file an
issue please see:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
the issue to ensure reproducibility with your examples.
Thanks!
