Description Unknown 2003-02-11 14:26:53 UTC 
I have a number of .doc files created using MS Word 2000.
When I open them in Writer, there seems to be a problem with the font scaling. 
Although the margins, font sizes, etc. are all identical, text runs off the end 
of a page where it never used to, ie. a page's worth of text suddenly becomes a 
page-and-two-lines' worth.
It seems as if Writer is interpreting the fonts to be larger than in Word 2000.

Please help.
I apologise if this has already been covered but I couldn't find any matching 
issues in the Issue Finder, which I found a little confusing at first.

Could this be related to incompatibilities between styles? I saw a 
few other web pages which suggested that differing style settings can 
caues text flow problems.

OK, i have found that this problem seems to relate to zoom settings.

I have created a webpage about this:

Thank you for using and supporting OOo.

Does this problem still exist in 1.0.3.1?

If so, please attach the document that consistently reproduces this
problem.
