Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: brochure templates for letterand A4 sizes

Let me shift gears slightly.

What measurement unit do y'all use in your Writer rulers and margin/spacing 
settings. I've set mine to use Picas, which is a traditional unit of 
measurement for typesetting. It's equal to 1/6 inch and provides for very 
tight control of a document.

Do others use Picas? If not, what are you using?

You're absolutely right, I haven't tried, because I've had no reason to. My
system has worked for me (and my fellow Americans) for my entire 57 years on
Earth. Until it stops working, I'm quite happy to keep using it.

I guess my point is that having something "better" isn't necessarily enough
motivation to produce change. I fully agree that the metric system is better
than the English. But, my English system works. I fully and accurately
measure things every day with it, and I effectively communicate those
measurements to others. Until it stops working, I have little motivation to
change.
