Thank you. That'd seem indeed to be the place for the previews dimensions

with formulas previews, though (not filed yet by anyone, I believe -- and
relating to the formulas processing in LO itself).

Oh, that's where Michael's reply to me was (in gmane).
No, that option has no effect at all. I had issues with exported
formulas/equations since 2009, don't remember what the LO (OOO?) version was.
