OpenOffice is not a clone of MS Office; the filters for format conversion have been reverse engineered and as a result there are format differences. If you work in OpenOffice's native formats formatting is stable, but if you wish to export to MS Office formats and retain all formatting, you should acquire and use MS Office.

Take a recent version of MS Word and open some ODF document. Is Microsoft able to handle foreign file formats properly?
