Hello Joris,

thanks for your reply. I did not set Document -> View -> Page layout -> Margins as on paper, so I was seeing on my screen not the same layout as the exported layout. Also, I did not specify mm in the margins definitions, which probably caused the use of unit=0 for the margins.

After these corrections everything worked as a charm.

Thanks again for your help and a great program

Marc
