Luca,
Are you certain that the styles are the same in the two copies of the
documents? As I understand, OOo does not embed the styles in the
document files. There are procedures described in the Help file to copy
styles from one document - or copy of a document - to another.
Display size shouldn't be the source of the problem. Here is a simple
analogy to explain why. Cut two rectangles of different sizes in a
piece of paper (say 4cmx6cm and 6cmx8cm). These represent the different
display sizes of your notebook and desktop computers. Place the piece
of paper with the cutouts onto a printed page from a document and you
will see different amounts of the printed page through the cutouts. This
is the same effect as changing display size for the same zoom factor, in
this case 100%.
In order to see the same amount of material from the printed document
page in the smaller window you must move the cutout farther away from
the printed page which is the same as reducing the Zoom Factor to less
than 100%, but at no time is the printed page ever changed.
I hope some bit from all of this helps you discover the source of the
problem you are seeing.

I'm using Openoffice.,org 1.1.3 on two different linux machiens: a
desktop and a laptop.
The two machines run as much as possible the same versions of
everything (Kernel, applications, xorg and, obviously, openoffice.org).
When I move a document written with openoffice writer from the
desktop to the laptop (and vice-versa) I found slight differences:
lines are slightly shorter, or longer and words are wrapped in
different places, as if characters and words come out slightly
different on the two machines. This is very consistent: it always
happens and is very noticeable, mostly with short lines (e.g.: in
pieces of text wrapped around a figure).
The only difference in the two machines I can think of is the size of
the display: the laptop is 1024x768 pixels, the desktop has a
1280x1024 screen.
It looks like character rendering (actually character size) is
different on different screens.
Does anybody see anythinbg similar?
And does anybody knows a way to prevent this problem?
Many thanks,
l.f.
