          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 72662
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Be able to see different measurement units for line
                    versus page properties (e.g. pt and in)
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

Natural units for page properties are not usually the same as for line
properties. Typically (in all other word processors) page properties (e.g.
margins, tabs, etc.) are measured in inches or cm/mm while line properties
(e.g. line and paragraph spacing) are measured in pt. It is very unusual and
difficult to have to see only the same units for both. e.g. if I use inches for
everything then I can't see what line spacing or paragraph spacing is currently
set to in pt since it only shows inches. Whereas if I use pt for everything
then I can't see what margins and tabs are in inches. I can modify to some
value in any units but I can't tell what the existing value is or whether it's
the same as the value I want. It's slow and irritating to work with, unnatural,
and unlike any other word processor.
