Thumbs up openoffice comaptibility with windows MSoffice

I have used openoffice(1.1.3/1.9.96/1.9.104/2.0).
These are the issues i feel to be sorted out with regards to the MS office compatibility with openoffice

1. In the openoffice-calc(Spreadsheet) If u format ur cells(border them), and save the document, send it to a windows machine and try to open the file, all the data is fine. but the cells around become blank(looks like a white page). it looks very horrible. why is this happening? What happened to the cells which were there?

2. And one other thing is CELL BORDERING. If I border the cell in Openoffice-Calc(cell border size from 1.5,2.0), i cant see the border in MS office. it appears as a dotted line. why?
if i give cell border above 2points, its visible in MS office. In openoffice if its more dark, much thick, then in MSoffice its normal....
Whats the thing thats making this happen.

I am using openoffice since long time. On the long run, it really bug you if u go into the details much.
editing , cut, copy, paste things happen normally.

Is there anyone who could help me out witha solution or a reason why this is happening?
whats making all of a sudden Openoffice Buggy?
