The problem is that MSO does not honor OOo anchors. I do not know why but it is probably related to the fact that MSO file structure is a trade secret of Micorsoft. I think we do a pretty good job of interpreting MSO files but there is the warning that OOo is not 100% compatible. Try various anchoring options in OOo to see which ones MSO obeys. -- Documentation Co-Lead PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list. Email sent directly to me may be ignored utterly.
