In Writer, you can right click on the ruler at the top and the side of
the document and select metric units. Does that help?

Hi Tony,

that helps a bit, but e.g. at Format|Page|Page the units for the margins
are still inches.

verwertungsprozess can also easily set the locale in OOo:
Tools|Options|Language Settings|Languages|Locale setting.

Hi NoOp, I already did set this to "German" but the units e.g. at the
page format window are still inches. Sorry for not mentioning this in
the originial mail.

Cheers,
