I have a question but I can't find the answers on the forum. I really
love open office, and this is the first time I've had a problem with it.
I wrote a book on an old mac laptop. The file is saved as a .doc file.
It is 337 pages and 139,000 words. I just bought a macbook pro and
downloaded the open office software. When I transferred the file onto
the new computer, I got a file length of 291 pages and 141,000 words!
What is going on??? I checked all the document formats and they're the
same on both computers: same margins, header/footers, line spacing, font
size, etc. How is it that I "lost" almost forty pages, but somehow
gained 2,000 words? I did notice that in the old program, when the
document is at 1" margins, less words fit on a line than in the new
program with the same size margins - something that could explain the
smaller amount of pages in the new document. It still doesn't explain
the word count gain, though.
Anyway, I'm confused and just wondering if I lost any information or if
this is a usual occurrence. Thanks so much for your time and effort. You
do have a great product and you give a great service to those who depend
on word processing but don't have the resources to pay for Word. Thanks
again!
