I rely expected those in «Inches» too… ?

Probably this have to be fixed !

Many thanks

The editable values are still in points, but the read-out in the blue box to the right shows you the size in your preferred unit of measurement, i.e. inches.

Over time, we intend to make the specification of units in these controls more flexible.

I’m using Dorico for the first time in Oct. 2024, but I’m having a similar problem. I chose inches in preferences under preferred unit of measurement as well as North American, applied and then close, but in page size, when I choose letter, measurements were in mm. What am I doing wrong?

Kay, one thread on the subject is enough to get an answer. Posting the same thing on multiple threads is frowned upon here, as various members of the development team and a few devoted users read every single post, and it wastes their time to read the same thing multiple times.

It’s 11.15pm here in the U.K. where most of the Dorico developers are based. Please sit back and wait a little while.
