Each component has the setting in the same place.

Let's have a look... starting OOO word processor, Tools, Options...
- text document, General x 1
- text document, View x 2
- HTML document, View x 3
- spreadsheet, General x 1
- spreadsheet, View x 0
- presentation, General x 1
- presentation, View x 0
- drawing, General x 1
- drawing, View x 0
- formula, OK
- chart, OK
- data, OK
By jove you're right. I jumped the gun on that one. That is freaking crazy!
This can be advantageous. Very rarely do I ever want Writer to be
in anything but inches, but I may be doing some drawing that
requires metric units, now I can have different things in different apps.
Yes, I figured that from the large units that drawing and presentations
offer, e.g. building scale CAD, etc. Still, it would make sense to seed
the initial units as per OS settings, then override on a per-app basis,
or better still, within templates (e.g. the "budget presentation" template
may be in cm, the "sales" template in pixels, and the "site survey" in km)
That could work, did you file an issue?
The best way to have problems such as this evaluated is to file an
issue. Issued are used to both report defects in the software and to
propose that new features be added. For instructions on how to file an
issue please see:

Thanks - I've just been there and did the survey, but I really don't want
to grind through a lot of stuff just to send in one issue. I'm stretched
over too many elists, web forums and newsgroups as it is, alas!
It really doesn't take very long, and it won't change unless someone
puts it in the system. Just a thought.
Have a good one.
