The "magic point" is where the trade-off between dimension size, and overflow errors are "acceptable". The default OOo has a theoretical zero chance of overflow errors. As that default is exceeded, the chance of overflow errors increases. (IIRC, increase the size by its square, and the odds of an overflow error increase by its cube.) > and have the processor to do it..... well, just why should there be an > apparently totally arbitrary size limit imposed by the coding team? That is done to avoid rounding errors, overflow errors, and other undesirable things of that ilk. Whilst you could program OOo to calculate everything in millimeters, for a size of several light years, doing so will ensure that one of several possible undesirable side effects will happen. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
