Back to the original problem:

The 'points' measurement units means nothing for all users. Except some old
print industry guys, points is completely unpractical. It should be the default
units, either millimeters or inches, whatever is chosen at the options.

LO converts mm to points - it's ok. But next time if I open the dialog and it
shows 15,34 points, now how many millimeters is this? This is why points is
unpractical. The text box should use practical units, not some cumbersome
units.
