Page layout different when exported and opened in word

Hi,


When I export a Pages document to Word, either .doc or .docx, and then open that document in Word, the page layout is different in word. Basically, it seems that Pages is able to fit more on to each page than Word.


As this affects where headings and chapter titles go, it makes documents look awful for Word users. I've checked the page setup – the margins, header/footer, line spacing etc. – and they are all the same on the Pages and Word versions of the document.


Is this common problem? Is there a setting I'm not thinking of? Would like to fix it without having to open each document in Word and reorganise everything before I send it to Word users.


Thanks.

OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
