Software :: Saving OpenOffice.org WP Frames In Word Docs

In my graduate professional writing program, I have had to make several documents that integrate graphics. In order to manage the graphics, I taught myself how to use frames. But I discovered that the Openoffice.org word processor has a problem saving the frames correctly. I save my document and close it. When I reopen it later, the graphics in some of the frames (not all) are distorted; they appear cut in half. Examining the frames, I determined that the anchors of the affected frames had changed since I saved and closed. Changing the anchors back to whatever they were restored the graphics to normal. Every time I saved and closed, this happened again. The first solution I came up with was to save with the frames set properly, and export the document as a PDF file; the frame anchor settings will not mess up for that.

Then, because I save my school documents as Word files (the university--that program, anyway--doesn't use Linux), I tried saving the document as an OpenOffice text document (.odt). That also avoided the frame anchor settings problem, meaning the problem occurs only when saving as a Word document. But since my professors probably don't use OpenOffice, I am submitting PDF documents in this situation.
