Default fix a column width

Hi Klaus,

Using Word 2000 and 2007, when I set the columns width to 0.3cm and have
0.1cm left & right margins (or less), a 0.3cm width is what Word says I
get, not 0.31cm.



That's what I see, and the reason I asked g

OTOH, I think Word calculates internally with multiples of 0.05 pt.
If you use millimeters or centimeters, it's not too uncommon to have Word
change the value a tiny bit, to the nearest multiple of 0.05 pt.
If that's what happened, it wouldn't cause me to tear my hair out, as Becky
does.

Regards,
Klaus
