Description agerskov 2005-03-18 11:34:59 UTC 
It seems that 1 cm = 567 twips has been used as the base for the conversion 
between metric and inch based units - even between inch based units alone like 
1 Pica = 240.029811 twips which should be 1 Pica = 240 twips. 
 
If you want I can update 
documentation/helpcontent2/source/text/shared/00/00000003.xhp which is the 
source file with conversions based on: 
 
1 inch = 25.4 mm 
1 inch = 6 Pica = 72 point = 1440 twips 
 
I have send a JCA so I can contribute to the project with code.

file text\shared\00\00000003.xhp needs major rework. Only give the conversions
as defined, for the units that are valid to enter in the program. Do not
calculate anything.
ufi->agerskov: thank you for your help. Finding such issues is a much
appreciated and valid contribution to the software quality. 
Documentation depends on a lot of external influences, for example localization,
merging of child work spaces (CWS), all kinds of date deadlines, and much more.
So sometimes even small fixes need a long time until they become visible in the
compiled product. And often the administrative overhead needs much more effort
than the fix itself.
