As a general rule of thumb, what you are looking at here, is the
tolerance that people have for differences in presentation markup and
depiction. Some differences in presentation markup will cause
differences in displayed content.

The more complex the presentation markup of a document is, the more
visible the difference between the document on the original machine, and
the document on the "new" machine.

The more complex the structural markup is, the more visible the
difference between the document on the original machine, and the
document on the "new" machine.

If all you produce are A4 size pages with 20 mm margins, using 10 point
Tahoma, with no embedded objects or images, then you won't see any
incompatibilities between the different versions of MSO, much less the
same version of MSO.

OTOH, if you standard document includes 75 or more different fonts, with
half a dozen sizes for each font, with each paragraph a different
writing system, and occasional changes of writing system within a
sentence, and you also include embedded objects, and images, you will
notice the differences between different versions of MSO.  Depending
upon various other random factors, you may also notice differences when
the same document is displayed on two or more systems that run the same
version of MSO and Windows.
