Package: openoffice.org
Version: 2.0.0-5
Severity: normal


This is 3 bugs in one, but they are related so it's probably more
useful to file it as one bug.

1. Format|Page

2. Choose "Tabloid"

Notice that width is set to 792.5pt and Height is set to 1222.5pt
This is impossible, because the US sizes are in inches and thus
point-size measurements must be integral multiples of 72; anything
ending in .5 cannot possibly be right.

The correct size should be 792pt by 1224pt (11*72 by 17*72).

Even worse things happen when such a document is printed:

1. When printed, OOo 2.0 causes the printout to use "Letter" size.
   This can be confirmed by generating a Postscript file and noting
   that a letter page size is passed to setpagedevice.

   This means that tabloid/ledger-sized documents cannot be printed
   from OOo using normal procedures.

2. When a PDF is generated, OOo 2.0 generates a PDF of size
   793pt x 1222pt

IIRC, OOo 1.1.x never had this problem.
