Has anyone else encountered this problem, and has anyone found a solution? It is tiresome to have to go back to Microsoft Word when issues of spacing and layout are critical like this! Why is this, and can anything be done to correct it? Open Office appears to be using the same fonts as Microsoft Word - the font names are the same, anyway - and the font sizes are the same, yet the text appears to take up more of the page display. But on my laptop, using Open Office, it appears considerably longer, taking up two-and-a-half pages. On that machine, and on a PC that has a different version of Word, the document fits exactly within the two-page limit. In order to be sure about the length, I did most of the editing with Microsoft Word on my wife's laptop. It contains a series of headings and (expanding) text boxes for content. It is a form produced by a national organisation and it has to be sent back to them, and when submitted it has to be no longer than two A4 pages. I am editing a document that was originally produced in Microsoft Word (the standard. I guess that this problem may affect Libre Office too, but I will be happy to be proved wrong about that. I have Ubuntu 10.10 and Open Office 3.2.1.
