    Hi Filip,

    It takes two steps, but you can use the utility functions provided in
    ppUtils.pas to convert a value. Otherwise you could do a direct conversion
    using a routine you create yourself.

    example (Convert 200 millimeters to inches)

    liMicrons: Integer
    ldValue: Double;
    ldOriginalValue: Double;

    begin

    ldOriginalValue := 200;

    liMicrons := ppToMMThousandths(ldOriginalValue, utMillimeters,
    pprtHorizontal, nil);
    ldValue := ppFromMMThousandths(ldMicrons, utInches, pprtHorizontal, nil);
