     Base uses Writer to produce its forms; forms are ODF text 
documents. So, open an untitled document in Writer and then make your 
changes in the Writer section. (Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer). 
For the Mac, use LibreOffice > Preferences > LibreOffice.
     I use Base on a regular basis. Living in the USA, a new LO version 
use Inches. I change this to cm in Writer, and I can then edit my forms 
using cm instead of inches.
