Just installed Precise today. This is still an issue, and it's still annoying to have to create my own default template just to set the margins to the standard.
The thing that bugs me is that it ships with inconsistent standards. I realize that LibreOffice is an international product and the US is the only real holdout on A4, but why ship with US Letter size but A4's margin and tab settings? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377804 Title: Margins are not correct for letter - 2cm vs 1in Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Since as long as I can remember, OOo has been set by default to A4 paper size and A4 margins, regardless of what your locale is. My LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" (along with every other LC_*), but OOo doesn't pay attention. Additionally, it is really complicated (comparatively) to actually change the default margins to 1" (the standard in the US), having to mess around with "Organize Templates" et cetera--but I shouldn't have to anyway. OOo should pay attention to the current locale and update accordingly, like every other application.
