Anne,
I must be in one of my "senior moment" days as it is still not clear to
me what you are trying to achieve.
If you trust me with a copy of your document (sent off list, as
attachments are stripped on the list) I would be very happy to analyse
the problem and provide a solution.

Peter,
Thanks for your response! No, I'm not trying to create a table. I'm
trying to print onto individual lables that will be used on manilla
folders. You can customize the size that you print onto and I can
adjust everything except the height and width. For some reason when I
override those measurements, it defaults back to what was originally set
up. I've used this feature alot with Word and it was very easy to adapt
to changes.
Your input is appreciated!
Anne

Hello,
I'm trying to print small labels and am having difficulty adjusting
the height and width measurement. It keeps defaulting to .04" when I
override the number and won't let me use the up and down arrows to
customize. Can you assist me?
Thanks,

A little more information would help. Are you trying to create a page
(or pages) with a table for the label positions? If you are, are you
using English measurements? If you are then you have run into a
deficiency in OpenOffice in that it presently will not function to the
required degree of accuracy in the user interface.
The workaround is to switch your default measurement units to metric,
create your table to the accuracy required and then revert your
measurement system to English - but DON'T make any further adjustments
or the problem will be resurrected!!
This is all caused by the user interface only offering 2 decimal point
accuracy, whatever the chosen measurement unit happens to be, and
hundredths of a millimetre are a lot smaller than hundredths of an
inch. Internally there is no problem with the desired degree of
accuracy, so as long as no further changes are made after using metric
units to create your table the accuracy will stick.
