Inches, Foxy. Inches. We Amurricans still measure paper the old-fashioned way.
It's really weird. I wanted to set up an image to print on some 4x6 (inches, again!) photo paper that I had.
(Since I don't have any 8.5x11 photo paper.)
So I went into Open Office Draw, on the Mac, and had to use a custom paper size to pick 4x6 -- all that was listed were letter, legal, tabloid, and A#'s.
So I go to print, and it keeps acting as if I'd set the whole thing up on 8.5x11. Complains about incompatible paper sizes when I try to tell it to feed the photo paper, prints the images (correctly sized, amazingly) on 8.5x11 if I let it set its own defaults, and if I force it to print to 4x6 it acts like it's shrinking an 8.5x11 page to fit 4x6.
I'm seriously honked off at it.
