"Use printer metrics for document formatting" seems not to work in SO 7.0

Hi, I have a problem with the PrinterIndependendLayout: open a *new* writer document with SO 70, type some words and save as *.sxw file (the option "Use printer metrics for document formatting" is unchecked) After reloading, the "Use printer metrics for document formatting" in Tools -> Text Document -> General is always checked ... Open the same document in OO 1.1.0 (645m18) ... the box is unchecked ... Do I have a configuration problem or is it a bug ??? regards Oliver from the online help: > "Use printer metrics for document formatting" > Specifies that printer metrics are applied for printing and also > for formatting the display on the screen.

I saved file with unchecked metric, reload it, close and opened it -> it still unchecked.
The properties of using printer metrics will not saved in any configuration file. It is a property of the document and will be saved with the document. If you have a document where you can reproduce the problem, please attach it as bugdoc so I can see what's going on. Please keep this place for the communication and do not send email's.
Created attachment 12007 [details] "Use printer metrics for document formatting" demo file
I used the demo and compared with soffice7 and OOo1.1 The printer metric is not checked in both versions.
Hi, meanwhile I know what happend: I have the following entry in the "common.xcu": <node oor:name="Load"> <prop oor:name="UserDefinedSettings" oor:type="xs:boolean"> <value>false</value> </prop> </node> this affects, that the user props of the document are *not* loaded with the document ... In this case (after opening a writer document) the "use printer metrics document formating" are *always* enabled ... What is strange is, that the "UserDefinedSettings" seems not to affect the equivalent calc prop "use printer metrics document formating" ... in the calc area ... regards Oliver
Please have a look.
This is because Calc does not store this setting in the document. Frank
Set as WORKSFORME in cause of no reproducible problem.
