Perhaps you're seeing picas or points instead of pixels? Yes, I had the checked the pixels-for-HTML box, and unchecking solved that little problem. No, I did not see picas or points, I saw pixels ("px"). It comes out as 96 pixels per inch. On a side issue, do you know if there is a function name cross reference between local language versions of Word and the original? I sometimes have a hard time to guess what Swedish word they invented for some of the more exotic functions, or functions to which there are a lot of synonyms in English or Swedish. It is not enough to be fluent in both languages (not that I am, but enough to see the problem). Per. |

I am not aware of any equivalency tables for Word commands, but then I have
no command of anything but English anyway. There don't, unfortunately, appear to be any specifically Swedish or Scandinavian Word or Office NGs, unfortunately. OTOH, that increases the changes that Swedish users will be posting here, so perhaps someone else will be more knowledgeable. If you had the Multi-Language Pack or Multilingual User Interface Pack or whatever it's called for your specific version, I suppose you could switch between UI languages and find out that way. -- Suzanne S.
