Margin measurements in decimals and fractions*

When I go to Format-->Page-->Margins, I find that 0.79 inch is the default
measurement.
1. How can set the measurement to more than two decimal places, for example,
0.7525 inch?
I don't believe (at least I have not been able to find) that there is
any way to obtain more precision that two decimal points, when working
in inches. Thus, the example of 0.7525 does not appear possible, as far
as I can tell. More precision is available if you work in mm, because
then you can get down to the nearest 0.01 mm (instead of 0.01 inches).
So your example of 0.7525 inches would be approximately 19.11 mm. (19.11
mm = 0.75236 inches, so it doesn't exactly give 0.7525 inches, but it
comes much closer than rounding to 0.75 inches would).
It is also possible to work in points (1 point = 1/72 inch), and you can
specify down to 0.1 points (or 0.00139 inches), so that is another way
of achieving higher precision. However, if you're used to working in
inches, then working in either mm or points would require some getting
used to.
2. How can I set it to fractions, for example 3/32 inch?

I don't believe this is possible either.
