Actually, I already have removed the enum PAPER_DEFAULT completely in my CVS tree, which I'd file as a patch to the list, where it not that it's feature freeze :(. Where ever I found PAPER_DEFAULT, it was either totally useless or it defaulted (hardcoded!) to us-letter. Nothing of the kind you suggest, that it uses the class default. So at present, PAPER_DEFAULT is redundant and even worse: it suggests things that it does not! I think, either we get rid of it altogether, or do a major code-change so that indeed the class default is used. I decided for the removal. I have no idea how to do the code-change; also, how does that connect to the Document_Layout/Paper/papersize ? This one also has a "Default". What does that default mean? The preferences setting? Argh, it's a jungle of defaults here! Cheers, Rob. PS: I doubt the usefulness of having a "Preferences/papersize default", that changes its setting according to the class. I think everybody (well, at least me) chooses the papersize here, so that the right papersize is used for my printer. That is a fixed choice, not a volatile 'default' one.
