 You need a valid unit with the integer. Eg, "1 cm", "2 em", "3 mm" etc.

Maybe we should offer a choice-box with the units available?

But then again can margins have rubber lengths?

This is exactly what the KDE frontend does i.e. offers a units combo box
where appropriate. Doesn't mean I've got it exactly right of course.

Dealing with glue lengths is a pain, my current poor solution is three
text boxes + combo boxes. I can't think of a nicer way of entering glue
lengths.

 You need a valid unit with the integer. Eg, "1 cm", "2 em", "3 mm" etc.

You also need to make sure that the "Use geometry package" option is selected.

 Another question is how do I set the page margins? I have tried but it
 does
 not let me set them. May be I need to try milimeters?

I can not change the margins no matter what... By the way, I am using report
style...

Thanks,
