------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Apr 3 16:39:50 +0000 2008 ------- When one creates a dimension line in Draw and copies and pasts into Writer or Calc, the units of measure get changed to millimeters. I have looked into other issues similar to this (57711, 66639, 48389, 83109), but this seems to be unique. Steps to reproduce: * Open Draw * Click the "Lines and Arrows" button arrow and choose "Dimension Line" * Place the dimension line in the slide somewhere * Notice that the units of measure are in inches * Select the dimension line and copy (via EITHER Edit | Copy OR Control+C) * Open Writer * Paste the dimension line in the document somewhere (via EITHER Edit then Paste OR Control+V) * Notice how the units of measure changed from inches to millimeters A temporary work around would be to paste a special type. This could be done by * Open Writer * Edit then Paste Special (or Control+Shift+V) * Choose any of the formats EXCEPT "Drawing Format" Things I have checked * The default format units of measure for Writer is already marked as Inches. This was done via Tools | Options | OpenOffice.org Writer | General | Settings | Measurement units = Inches. By the way, this pasting issue is duplicated in Calc but not in Impress. Also, as indicated above, this issue is with your recent OOo 2.4.0. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
