You have stated the exact problem: the difference if the screen
sizes. I have the very same problem: desktop with 1024x768 display, and
laptop with 800x600 display. I have accepted it as normal.
However, here is something that you could experiment with a little.
At the bottom of the OOo window are several "boxes". The first one
shows "100%". Double click it to open a context menu. The bottom choice
of this menu is Variable. Try some of the other choices first to see
what they will do. If one of them will make the character sizes the
same for the two screens, fine. If not, change the amount in the
Variable choice to make the character sizes as close as possible.
