In all the years I've been using OPro I can't believe I've not come
across this before:
I've been designing a large document today - a roller banner. It's
size is 800mm wide by 2100mm high. OPro will let me create a new
document with that page size, no problem. It will also let me drag out
and create a new frame at that size. I can even alter the frame's size
in the info palette. But if I alter the the frame size via the 'Modify
text/picture frame' dialogue it causes an error (well actually a
warning style message box, with a Continue button) warning me:
'Frame height too big'.
My default settings are set to millimetres, and I haven't tried it
with any other units, but it I get the warning with anything above
913.69mm
As I say, I can set the frame to bigger sizes using the info palette,
and I can alter the frame's fill colour using the Colour palette
applet, but it does make it difficult to set the other properties,
such as Inset, Radius or Angle etc.
... I've just tested the value using the !Convert applet and I see
that 913.694mm is equal to 2590pt which seems to be the value that is
checked when the dialogue is closed.
