ODT and MS .DOC are not guaranteed to look the same on every computer
or printer. Both will reformat to suit your current environment. Some
things which may be different between environments are installed fonts,
printer margins and print fonts. If you want things to look the same
across environments, format it for a printer with wide margins and use
only fonts that you know are available in all environments.
Since MS .DOC is not a published format, converting between ODT and DOC
can cause problems. I believe that some of the default settings are not
identical between the two, so even if you don't have any fancy
formatting, you may still find your document looks a little different
after conversion.

Hi. I'm using OpenOffice 2.2.1 on Gentoo. I exported the odt file
to .doc and, when opening, I see that the layout is different: there are
two additional pages.
Once I tried to open the odt in my workplace computer, and the layout
was also wrong. There we use OpenOffice.org on Ubuntu Dapper.
Another problem is that I need to export the document to pdf, and I
need pdf bookmarks. The document model I use already generates an
index for chapters, sub-chapters, and so on, and these get exported to
pdf correctly. However, I also need pdf bookmarks for the cover, and
some other pages, and I don't know how to do that.
Thank you for your attention.
