This is a known bug. To be fixed in 2.0.
I'm facing the same kind of trouble, I think, but the other way round: "OOo Writer file with table not formatting correctly in MS Word". To be specific: a table in Writer fits perfectly on page 1, but opened in Word the table moves to page 2. I'm familiar with the Do not split-checkbox. But I would look for the cause into another direction, like: 'How does Writer interpretes the values for page margins compared to Word?' (or something else).
This often has to do with small diferences in tha page margins. Drag them a little wider, and you'll be astonished. (Unless I'm mistaking ;-)
2.0 also will have improved compatability on this items.
Snapshot builds are available, but not recommended for production-purposes! pls read the introduction.

I'm exchanging documents with people who only use Word; I have a read-only copy of Word on my pc. I work around the problem by sending people PDF's, but I would prefer a better solution.
PDF is handy indeed.
Various settings may change the appearance of your 'word'document, when opened by people using the 'right stuf'. You might like to do some easy experiments, to see what fitst best in your situation.
Hope this helps & kind regards,
Cor
Thank you so much for your help, again. This list is just fun. :-)
