I'm well aware of the Export to PDF option in OOo.
This is one major reason I installed it.
HOWEVER...when I went to open and then export the files to PDF using
OOo, the pages did not display properly in OOo, and so did not export as
PDF properly. So thus I went back to MS Word and used PDF Creator from
SourceForge to do the same thing I tried in OOo but without having to
"fix" the formatting all over again.

I have some documents I had opened using 1.9.104 and went to export

PDFs (and went back and opened the .doc files in OOo again) that OOo
mis-displayed them. The formatting was critical to "get it right" so
that the pages displayed on one or two pages, as required for
flyers. They use fancy formatting (not mine) to achieve their layout.
The .doc files are at
http://www.ecjb.dns2go.com/~jl/presskit/2006/doc/
<http://www.ecjb.dns2go.com/%7Ejl/presskit/2006/doc/> and the PDFs I
generated using MS Word (and PDFCreator from SourceForge
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/]) are at

This web server runs on "My Computer" and is subject to reboots and
the like, but is usually up about 99% of the time.
Thanks in advance for any help y'all can give me.

If you want them as pdf files, why not create the pdf files in OOo.
Click on File > Export as pdf. All in one simple package.
Exporting and then importing into another program can and will most
likely cause formatting changes. You probably noticed the warning
when you saved the file stating this.
The way I read it was the other way around.
I still stand by my statement that importing and exporting will create
some changes. Unless Microsoft suddenly opens the code source for
*.doc, you won't get by this. I find that 2.0beta works much better
than any previous version.
I originally read that you created the document in OOo and exported it
to Word. Now I understand that you created it in Word and imported it
into OOo.
If I remember correctly there can be issues with some fonts but don't
quote me on this. I do know that I have had no problems exporting OOo
docs to pdf and formatting changes. I made some handbills to pdf for
downloading some time ago and they look the same.
Of course, I keep all my documents in native OOo format so I don't
have the issue of conversion on save either. I don't see any OOo
formatted files to compare to.
