Forum (Mike D)
Answered a few more forum questions.
These were the key topics:
- Collabora Office: Weird “ch” Units Showing
- Collabora Office: Turns out it was “Asian” layout turned ON. Turning OFF fixed the problem.
- CODE: I saw similar weird units in Paragraph Styles though.
- View > Sidebar
- In sidebar, next to “Paragraph”, press the little “arrow box” button along right-hand side.
- In “Paragraph” menu + “Indents & Spacing” tab, see “ch” Units.
