That's because Microsoft refuse to support the international OpenDocument standard (ISO/IEC 26300). So it's a missing feature in MS Word, really. Just save it as Word 97/2000/XP or export it as PDF (which is a better idea if the receiver isn't supposed to make changes in the document). Since Word format is not an open format, documents converted to it almost never looks exactly like the original, at least I have never seen that happen. Always different distance between rows etc. Page breaks are almost never at the same places as the original, unless you set them manually etc etc. Exported PDF files, however, always look right (as far as I have seen, and I have created quite a few so far).

I am sending open office documents to people, and they are unable to read the documents. Is there a setting in Word that allows them to view this document, without having the open office document with out down loading the program? Everyone seems to use msword. Help me! you can call, or just respond to this email.
