Steve, In your case I would look at the settings between the two
machines, in particular in General setting > "Open/Save" there is a
setting to load the configuration of the user. If that is set
differently, it might explain the variation. In that setting you will
also see the option to load the configuration of the printer when you
open the document.

(Aside, from experience editing other people's documents I found that I
had different settings between two of the machines I use, so one was
loading the original format/view, the other changing the doc to fit my
formats/views.)

Chris, Without more information I am less sure what to recommend, but
is it possible that you made a small change in the original document
and while the new one is using your default formats? (I have certainly
been known to do such things!) Look carefully at all the format
settings, perhaps even the configuration settings commented on for
Steve, and/or if you may have one document set up for footers/headers
and not the other. For the latter click in the top/bottom margins and,
if LO is set for a header/footer, it will open a space for entry; if
not it will ask to insert one.

Hope these things help.
