Greetings:
I recently discovered that the print output of a document composed in SCREENWRITER (the gold standard for screenplay formatting; you can try the demo at http://www.screenplay.com/products/mmscreenwriter/index.html) is slightly different in size than the same document printed out in OpenOffice/NeoOffice. It's not a different in font size, but rather that OOo/NeoO's printout is somewhat "swollen" such that when both it and SCREENWRITER's document are compared by superimposing both pages against a bright light, OOo's rendering is larger by more than a line's height and a few characters in width. It's as though line spacing in OOo is minutely larger than printouts by other word processors. As a check, I did the superimpose match trick with the same document printed by Mariner Write and both it and SCREENWRITER's pages are exactly twins to a pixel.
Is there a way to adjust the printout size of a OOo/NeoO document, and if so, can it be "fine-tuned" to that small a degree?
Thanks for any hints!

It probably has to do with the way that OOo handles kerning and line spacing. I read an excellent set of articles on this in the last few months, but I can not find links to them :-(
