Hi.
It's a unit of measurement. This article might help:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/76388
From that article:
"Pica" refers to a unit of measurement equal to 1/6 of an inch or 12 points.
Pica and points can be used interchangeably and many typographers use pica as their
standard unit of measurement.
I'd never heard of it myself before now, but you learn something new
every day... :)
