Why is print size reduced on saving in .doc format in Writer?

Documents saved in any MS format (.doc, .docx, rtf) by LibreOffice Writer show up as a smaller size on printing when opened again. The document looks normal to view, but when the print dialog is opened it shows up smaller; that is, the left margin is the same but the text does not reach across as far. Also, when it prints, the document looks as it does int the print dialog. When the print preview is called up, the document looks normal in the print preview, but when I print from the print preview, nothing prints at all. The document acts the same regardless of the several printer options I use.

The same document when opened in MS Word does not show these characteristics.

I’d say that’s a minor compatibility issue, if it is one.
