Hmm, here (1.3.2 on Slackware 10.2), when I click on "File" > "New" and just accept the preselected A4, the dimensions in the greyed out field show 209.903 mm and 297.039 mm. When I change the size in the dropdown list to something else and then back to A4, then the correct dimensions of 210.000 mm and 297 mmm are set. And really: There is a slight difference when I export the two versions: The first one is shown as 209.9 x 297 in Acrobat Reader and the other one as 210 x 297. Don't know whether that is within the rounding tolerance and I even don't know how (or with which method) to measure the whole thing correctly at all. Also, I don't want to be nitpicking, just wanted to inform you about the fact. Cheerz Lars
