I noticed when creating a frame style that the Column Spacing option (when
multiple columns are selected) accepts only units of %.  This is in contrast to
the Format->Frame dialog that defaults to inches, but allows other units as well
(although _not_ %).

I'd love to be able to create a frame style with column separation of 0.25
inches, but that doesn't seem possible.  There may be a good explanation for
that difference in units between frame styles and Format->Frame on existing
frames, but in that case, the behavior of column spacing using Frame styles is
still very strange.

As an example, I created a frame style with frame width 5 inches and column
separation 25%.  When applying the frame style to a frame, I end up with a
column separation of 0.17 inches.  I can't figure out for the life of me what
0.17 inches is 25% of.  Either this is just wrong behavior, or the OpenOffice
documentation should be updated to explain this behavior.

Thanks for making a great product and for taking a look at this issue.
