I am having an issue with using SL. We have a client specific template, but it is changing from day to day and from my computer to my co-worker's computer. The fonts and font sizes are off, the layout (spacing) is different, and overall the training seems off. We are both working off of PCs, Windows 7 and both have the most updated SL version.
Another thought, since you're sharing the template between computers, is you'll want to be sure you're following proper template-sharing practices very carefully.
In addition to the great suggestions above I'd also suggest checking into the following:
Are you using a custom font? Be sure you both have the same fonts installed or else Storyline will revert to system fonts when you open the .story file
Work on your local drive (your C: drive).Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, includingfile corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior.
You should also make sure the directory pathto your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters(for example C:\Articulate).
Avoid using special characters, accents orsymbols in your file names.

Here are a couple of things to check.
On your text boxes, set them to "Do not AutoFit." AutoFit is the default, so you have to set this on each text box.
Work with your zoom at 100%. Text sizes can jump around when the zoom is not 100%.
In addition to Meryem's right on suggestions, check that you're both working at 96DPI. Support page here
