You always have to check each item/task against the original after converting to ensure that it is correct.
Do not just export and hope for the best or trouble awaits you.

Paola,
MS Project does not handle project schedules the same way as Powerproject or Sciforma PS8 or Primavera P3; nor do the different versions of MSP.
Before switching a schedule from one system to the other, you should check the options being active in both system: open Tools, Options, Schedule in MS Project, take note of the options and set up PP8 as close as possible as you have in MSP.
I have a longer and more accurate experience in migrating projects from MSP to PS8 one way or the other, and I know a lot of reason for projects not migrating easily.
Have a good day when you wake up in NZ.

PS Please send me a sample MSP schedule for testing
