Printer Forms selection shows all form sizes in metric

How do I get the PRINT forms selection menu to list the forms and their sizes in Inches. e.g. when I look for Letter it shows “Letter 216mm x 279mm”. I’d like it to say “Letter 8.5” x 11""

My default measurement is set to Inches, not metric.

Is there another setting elsewhere for this?

Have a look at Tools > Options > LibreOfficeWriter > General --> Settings.


Then search “US Letter”.


With me:

Version: 7.3.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d1d0ea68f081ee2800a922cac8f79445e4603348
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE
Calc: CL

Sorry, as I said in my note, I have already chosen measurement units as Inches.

And how do you search for “US Letter” - I see no search ability in this dialog.

Change your Locale setting to one that uses inches; i.e., English (USA).

Tested with LibreOffice 7.2.7.2 on Windows 6.3.

Hi,
That worked, thanks. So LO believes by default that Canada is fully metric. Nice if it were true, but we’re still a mixed bag like the US.
