Peter,
Thanks for your response! No, I'm not trying to create a table. I'm trying
to print onto individual lables that will be used on manilla folders. You
can customize the size that you print onto and I can adjust everything
except the height and width. For some reason when I override those
measurements, it defaults back to what was originally set up. I've used
this feature alot with Word and it was very easy to adapt to changes.
Your input is appreciated!
Anne

Hello,
I'm trying to print small labels and am having difficulty adjusting the
height and width measurement. It keeps defaulting to .04" when I
override the number and won't let me use the up and down arrows to
customize. Can you assist me?
Thanks,

A little more information would help. Are you trying to create a page (or
pages) with a table for the label positions? If you are, are you using
English measurements? If you are then you have run into a deficiency in
OpenOffice in that it presently will not function to the required degree
of accuracy in the user interface.
The workaround is to switch your default measurement units to metric,
create your table to the accuracy required and then revert your
measurement system to English - but DON'T make any further adjustments or
the problem will be resurrected!!
This is all caused by the user interface only offering 2 decimal point
accuracy, whatever the chosen measurement unit happens to be, and
hundredths of a millimetre are a lot smaller than hundredths of an inch.
Internally there is no problem with the desired degree of accuracy, so as
long as no further changes are made after using metric units to create
your table the accuracy will stick.
Regards
Peter HB
