I asked for the name that the metric typesetting point was called, and what the measure was, i.e. mm, microns or what. Dropping out the middle of the message to make it look funny, is not kosher. As to when I went to grade school, you are correct. I graduated from high-school in 1974 and got my degree in 1979. So yes, I spent my gradeschool years prior to 1970. So what. They taught metric then. Cheers Woody Perhaps someone can answer my original question? ,
