I saw a similar thing.  In my case I had a .doc resume that I created
in OOo, then I had worked on it at work in MS Word, then tried to open
it back up in OOo for some final edits and such.   When I did the
fonts just went haywire, which also increased the spacing.

I never could get them to be consistent.   I think I was using Word's
Times New Roman and it wanted it to go to Nimbus Roman or something
like that since I don't think TNR existed -- if it did I couldn't find
it.  I even tried changing it for the whole doc but it didn't like
that either. Apparrently there was some macro running or something
like that which I was unable to turn off.  My solution:  I am looking
into AbiWord to see if that is any better.
