Sorry to hear you're having problems. Openoffice.org consistly presents identical document layouts for me between different linux systems and MS Windogs. I've even used OOo to prepare an 8 page newsletter, multi-column, with photos, banners, etc. across multiple columns, just to prove it could be done. Normally one would use proper DTP software for this, of course -- but OOo worked. Maybe your problem is different version behavior? If your document doesn't need to be writable on all machines, why not export it to PDF first, then share it?
