            Bug ID: 120247
           Summary: Help users to avoid deprecated units in CONVERT
                    function, especially not to use "at"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
               URL: http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/os/OpenDocument
                    -v1.2-os-part2.html#CONVERT
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: [email protected]

The function CONVERT has a lot of units, which are deprecated in ODF 1.2.
LibreOffice should better not allow these units in new documents and at least
warn users in the help, that these units are deprecated.

A special warning is needed in case of the deprecated unit "at", because "at"
is treated as "atm" although it is a different unit, see bug 72174.

So my suggestion for immediate improvement:
Change the help. For example remove such units from the regular list and add
the information, that these units should not be uses although LibreOffice can
handle them. Add a dedicated warning for unit "at".

In the long term LibreOffice should get a feature to show warning indicators at
cells. But that is a different issue.
