Description wilberw 2008-08-08 15:15:14 UTC 
Suggestion: In Tools | Options --> OpenOffice.org Calc --> General in the
"Metrics" section there is a "Measurement unit" drop down box which currently
has the following options:
Millimeter
Centimeter
Inch
Pica
Point

The suggestion is to add "pixel" to that list. When you are resizing cells in
Microsoft Office it measures in pixels. I have taken a screenshot to demonstrate
this which should be attached.

Pixel is not a measurement. It is the result of measurement per screen resolution.

When resizing a column or row, pixels could be displayed in the tool tip,
according to the current system's screen resolution, along with the measurement.
I don't consider this helpful nor important though => P5.
