Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
When I, for instance, set the page size to a4 and the zoom level to 100% I expect my computer screen to show the page
in real size. But if I grab a real a4 sheet of paper from my desk and hold it against my computer screen,
I see that openoffice shows the page too large.
by the way, if I export my file as pdf,
evince shows the page correctly.

It's within a quarter of a cm of being the right size on my screen for Letter size (I'm in the US). Do you have your X dpi setting set correctly for your monitor?
