[In addition to the issues raised by Dov Isaacs and others]

The original question did not specify which version of
Microsoft Word was being used.

There is a difference between Word 97 and earlier versions
of Word with regard to the use of printer driver metrics.
Word 97 does not use printer driver font metrics by default,
and therefore no changes will occur in line/page breaks
after switching to a different printer driver. Word 6/7
documents opened in Word 97 will, however, keep using
driver-specific metrics (so as to minimize changes in
the transition from earlier releases to Word 97).
To turn off the dependency on driver-specific metrics
in such documents, in Tools>Options, click the Compatibility
tab, and uncheck the "Use printer metrics to lay out
document" option.

[ Not as implied in one or two messages in this thread,
line breaks in FrameMaker are not "immune" against printer
driver changes ]
