I'm just speaking from a practical user standpoint.
The problem is is that 1pt for metric users is, oversimplistically said, useless. Eg. I edit in mm.. I never ever ever use pts. I want to nudge by 1 mm. That said, yes, its relatively easy to change, but deciding on a setup for inches is the one to decide on. Craig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
