[OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (OFFICE-2770) Needs-Discussion:6.16.18 Convert: Definition of Pica should be 1/6 in.

[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2770?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

David Wheeler  updated OFFICE-2770:
-----------------------------------

    Proposal: 

In the function CONVERT (currently 6.6.18), in the distance row with "Pica":
Change unit symbol:
  "Pica"
to:
 "Pica" or "picapt"
Change description:
  Pica (1/72 in.)
to:
  Pica point (1/72 inch)

Under that, add a new entry:
Unit symbol:
  "pica"
Description:
  Pica (1/6 inch); note that this is different from a Pica point.

In the "Area" and "Volume" sections, make equivalent changes
(change "Pica" to "Pica point" in descriptions, add "pica" and "picapt" squared and cubed;
clearly these measurements aren't common, but we need to be consistent).

  was:
Change description of "Pica" from
"
Pica (1/72 in.)
"
to
"
Pica Points (1/72 in.)
"
