Joren De Cuyper <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- OS|Linux (All) |All Severity|normal |enhancement Priority|medium |lowest --- Comment #3 from Joren De Cuyper <[email protected]> --- Mmh, I understand your bug report; but I WOULD LIKE to set this bug to 'RESOLVED WONTFIX' ... but I set it as NEW and ENHANCEMENT with the LOWEST priority. 1) I saved a A5 document (.doc) in Word, and it's correctly recognized as A5, because Word correctly set file size as 148 x 210 mm. As you referred to ISO 216, this is the correct size for A5 page format. With what file 2) 148 x 210 mm following ISO 216 has indeed a tolerance of ±1.5 mm for dimensions up to 150 mm. But these tolerances are set to control if a page is 'good' or 'bad' (for example by a company that makes paper sheets)... The machines are all set to 148 x 210 mm, but there will be some inaccuracies in the process. After all there will be a 'check'/'control' whether the page has the good size. If the page is only good when it's 148 x 210 mm precise ... you'll need to throw MANY pages away. That's why there is a tolerance... Having said that ... why would you start with an A5 page that has not a symmetrical tolerance ... and thus take higher risk to create BAD pages (= average on 148.5mm, so closer to the MAX 149.5 mm to be an A5 page)... 3) considering my 2 point up here ... I think this is still the right behavior of LibreOffice to start with the correct sizes, with symmetrical tolerances. I hope you see my point I try to make here.
