There won't be anything to fix for OO filter. It is the way MS Word
balances its columns. Open the file I attached with MS Word.
Everything looks fine. Now select the text in the first line and
change the fontsize to 14pt. You'll now see, that it's Word's
algorithm which formats the columns this way.
Comment 8 michael.ruess 2003-10-09 12:08:59 UTC 
Closed, because not a problem in OO.
Comment 9 mpupat 2003-10-09 12:25:37 UTC 
OK with this. The solution is to manually insert a column change. 
Then it is opened OK in MS Word.
