Changing measurement unit in a dial

PeeWee · October 17, 2023, 10:41am

Can someone help me, please?

The measurement units in my LibreOffice are set to metric. However, when I open a dialog, the drop-down lists for changing size show ch and line as the measurement units instead of metric.

How do I change these drop-down lists to show the selected metric measurement units?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to do this?

Regards

The title of this topic should read DIALOG

Could it be this bug, which was fixed for 24.2: 101895 – Paragraph dialog units shown as "ch" and "lines" when "Enable char unit" is enabled by default

Disabling “Enable char unit” should solve the problem.

Thanks Regina

Problem solved. Deselected Enable char unit.

[UPDATE] These settings are for Asian and CTL languages.

Hi

These options (checkboxes) do not show in my localized copy. Is there a hidden setting to enable it?

(Note to self: Help pages to be updated as well)
