The values won't round. And based on what the user has selected, they will display to the nearest power of 3 (10^(k*3)), or in an explicit form. The default option will be to auto-range the values into their metric named range. Here are some examples: http://www.libsf.org/misc/libreoffice_metric

Hi Rick, IMO, the *very* first step any new developer needs to undertake is to get the LO codebase from git, compile it and then make sure it runs. This might sound facetious to a newcomer, but actually it’s not. That is normally the first stumbling block for any new starter (it was for me) an
