My guess is that it does apply to hand tools, as the difference is
trivial. When you multiply inches by enough (63360 in one mile), then
the difference is probably enough to be a problem, and so US surveying
has a problem. I don’t know how they handled that in England.

Hi,
I've never had any LibreOffice/OpenOffice files that large. I do a fair
amount of work with video though, which can tax a system. Without

Hello list!
I set Writer to use points (instead of cm or inch) as measurements;
however, I cannot enter any number greater than 113.4pt in any field,
having to switch to cm whenever I need to use something greater.
And no, automatic conversion from centimetres to points never exceeds
113.4pt
And to cover the other points not in my reply below, no there are no
special characters in the field names.
I'm not certain if fields from queries could be the cause, but it
seems unlikely since the first line works.
Great ideas, thanks!
