re: "I tested and it also seems like when you get a property it
is in the units spec. by view preferences object."

That's correct. You can *set* values using measurement strings (e.g., "1p6"), but InDesign will never return measurement strings. (This is good, because you probably want to do arithmetic with the returned values, and it's hard to add strings and get the right results.<g>)

Thanks,

Ole
