<p class="Paragraph">The page size is internally scaled to hundredths of a millimeter. Use this tab to change the order of the ruler units to the internal units.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">After the <span class="T1">Page Width</span> and <span class="T1">Page Height</span> settings, the page size is displayed corresponding to the selected paper format. If you choose another scale, the display of the rulers is adjusted correspondingly. This way, you can adjust the rulers to the size of the objects that you draw on the page so that you can check the distances on the page in the current units.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Enter a measure of 1:50, for example, if you want to draw a ground plan of your living room. In the rulers, you will then see that they no longer correspond to an area of 8 times 10.5 inches, for example, but rather to a good 32 times 43 feet. The objects you draw now (e.g., walls, doors, and windows) can be placed and scaled to the correct measures with numeric accuracy. (Since screens cannot yet display several feet but only several inches, however, it would be a good idea to do the entire drawing in inches or fractions of inches instead of feet.) These settings can be adjusted directly in the <help:link Id="67119" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">Rulers</help:link>.)</p>
<p class="Head2">Scale</p>
<p class="Paragraph">In this section, you can enter changes to the scale. A change of the scale results in the proportional adjustment of the size in the spin buttons <span class="T1">Original Width</span> and <span class="T1">Original Height</span>. On the other hand, a change in one of the two spin buttons causes an adjustment of the entry in the <span class="T1">Scale</span> field when a suitable scale is reached.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:help-text value="visible" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">Select here the scale if you want to change it proportionally.</help:help-text>Select the scale from the list box or enter your own scale. If you do so, you can also enter 1:11 or 7:1, for example.</p>
<p class="Head3">Page width</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Here, you see the width of the page in the internal unit 1/100 inches.</p>
<p class="Head3">Page height</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Here, you see the height of the page in the internal unit 1/100 inches.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:help-text value="visible" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">This spin button shows you the new calculated original width. You can also enter your own value if you want different scales for the width and height.</help:help-text></p>
