offset pages in open office writer

Hy!
My name is Saramet George, and i am one of the editors of the "ALS OB"
magazine from "Nicolae Iorga" highschool from Negresti, Vaslui, Romania.
Me and our entire editors team are using your lovely software
"OpenOffice.org 3.3" for editing our highscool's magazine, but we are
faceing a huge problem. When we transfer edited pages from a computer to
another the pages become offset, for example, if we have an article that
occupies two pages on  another computer it will be three pages long,  images
are not in their place, and even our customized templates for the magazine
are deformed.
What can we do to solve this BIG problem?

In case you are using OpenOffice.org 3.3 on all your computers I also assume 
that the differences are may be caused by different installed fonts.

It would be great, if you could submit an issue in our BugZilla [1] and provide 
some deeper information about the systems and may be some non-confidential 
documents in order to reproduce the described behavior.

Firstly, save and transfer the file in .odt format and edit on OpenOffice on both computers, not in another application. Secondly ensure that the same fonts are installed on both computers, in the same versions.  If the file is transferred only for printing, then use .pdf format for the transfer.

   George ,
   Can been many reasons, but most likely, the fonts you use are not 
present on all your machines. When missing a font , OO gives no warning 
but try to "fake" the missing font who can gives your current problems.
Hope its helps,

Fernand
