You are probably right. The strange thing is that when I checked a few seconds ago, which is a couple of hours since last time, it was millimeters again... Before that, I noticed that the units were set to mm in Windows and cm in Ubuntu, and as I said, the file was modified in both of these OpenOffice.orgversions. I don't know, but it seems to work at the moment anyway... When I can reproduce the "problem", I will report it as a bug, I think. Thanks. J.R.
