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.
