It all has to do with styles. What you looked at was the Default
paragraph style. What controls the 0,2 cm is the Frame style not the
paragraph style.
To find what you are looking for, use the F11 key to open the
Styles and Formating window. The third icon from the left is the
Frames styles list. Click this icon. Right click the Frames style in
that list, and select Modify. Click the Wrap tab. At the bottom under
Spacing, there are the list of spaces between the border of the frame
and text.
For more information on styles as they are used in OOo, download
the two chapters on styles in the Writer Guide available at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/. If you want
an introduction to styles, also get the styles chapter in the Getting
Started Guide which is also available on that web page.
