-----------------------------------------

Eike,

I am still looking for the proposal that I transferred into the document.

If case is not going to vary between: 

Pica3 - Cubic Pica Point (one Pica point is 1/72 inch)

and 

PICA3 - Cubic Pica (one Pica is 1/6 inch)

Thus:

pica3 - Cubic Pica Point (one Pica point is 1/72 inch)

pica3 - Cubic Pica (one Pica is 1/6 inch)

Curious how you are going to distinguish those? 

I think Excel is Pica but I will have to look to see which length it uses. That Is I can make all the Excel Pica* and the others all lower case. 

The typographical quotation marks are the result of an overly clever interface. ;-) 

Should I avoid those only with unit marks in tables?
