includes several Draw-specific fields.

OpenOffice.org) in this book and Chapter 1 (Introducing Draw) in the Draw Guide.
Note
The sizes are given in the current measurement unit (not to be
confused with the ruler units). This unit is defined in Tools > Options
> OpenOffice.org Draw > General, where you can also change the
scale of the page. Another way to change the scale is to double-click on
