Description kbs.office02 2019-10-31 00:57:32 UTC
Description:
Using language option Eng-US causes Libreoffice to assume Letter paper size. There are very many users who need to use Eng-US for UI and spellchecking who for a variety of reasons need to use metric and very importantly A4 size paper. Using Eng-UK is not a valid option for many reasons. Using some other country's version of English would be a trial and error process that doesn't work in an office environment where the company needs to provide computers to employees who then need to trust that the IT department already set it up correctly. On Linux systems there is an easy way to get around this but on Windows 10 systems there is no easy way to do this.  Please create an option to use Eng-US language option with Metric and must more importantly A4 paper size. 

Actual Results:
Eng-US forces us to use Letter paper size.

Expected Results:
We should be ale to switch to a4.


Reproducible: Always

Where do you set the language to EN-US?
User interface
Locale setting
Default Languages for Documents

Set "Locale setting" e.g. to German to get A4 as default.

Besides that, you can define your own default document template, having the paper size you need.
