Jim, I guess that to expand a bit more on the wise words of Uwe, you will find in the compatibility options of writer a checkbox that does exactly what you see as a problem. Actually there are two check boxes (2nd and 7th from top) and I am not sure which one you need to deselect... maybe both to be on the safe side :)
I still have problems with frames that sometimes are not (in OOo) where they are supposed to be in MSO, but it seems to be due to poor coding of the position of the frames in MSO.
