Hello John
I'm with you on this. It seems such a small thing to correct.
When I print documents that have large photos the precise setting is
lost at only 2 decimal places. I too am more familiar with inches and
I'm not from the US of A - I just happen to be a pre-decimal Brit! (not
related to the dinosaur as far as I know)

Using Writer with a "Measurement Unit" of "Inch":
When trying to set a Tab Stop dimension, there is a limit of 2 decimal
places. A dimension of .375" (3/8") gets rounded to .38".
The same thing happens when trying to set a Grid Resolution dimension.
The same thing happens when trying to set a Fixed Line Spacing in
Paragraph mode.
The same thing happens when setting Margins in Page mode.
It seems that wherever a dimension can be specified, it is limited to
2 decimal places. While this is OK for some things, it would be very
helpful to have 3 or 4 or 5 decimal places of accuracy available.
Storage space is certainly not an issue. Processing power is certainly
not an issue. So why the limit of 2 decimal places?
I know that greater accuracy can be achieved by using Millimeters or
Points as the Measurement Unit with the limit of 2 decimal places
because those units are much smaller than an inch. But the user should
not have to use a less familiar unit of measurement. The software is
supposed to make things like this easier, not harder. How hard could
it be to add some decimal places?
Thank you.
