If you could narrow it down to a particular setting, it might be worth reporting an issue to WP and/or GIMP.
I remember using WP many years ago, and I liked it. I moved to MS Word because that was the corporate standard and hated it. Corruptions of documents happened on a daily basis, and I kept a backup copy of normal.dot because it was corrupted on a regular basis. These days I use LibreOffice Writer and I'm happy with it. Just to be clear, I'm not trying to sell you on LO Writer!
