Thank you very much. I have v.11 and it's there too.
Same place on X3 also.

Were you able to change to mm? In version 11 I was able to change the text size in mm by changing the setting in options. When you do that it still defaults to points on the tool bar but if you highlight the text then go to text, format text, you'll notice that the size is in mm and you can change it there.
A peculiar quirk but it should solve your problem.
thanks for your previous tip.

Hi Mike.
I just doing what you suggested and came up with the following.
Typed in lower case v at 270points which shows up as 49.4mm in the height box.
When I go to Text - Format Text the height in mm shows up as 95.25mm. I then drew a box at 50mm height (to check which measurement was right and low and behold it was the height in the height box 49.4mm. I've got no idea how the text - text format text got it to 95.25mm
ARgggggggggghhh :-)

Have you tried the Corel newsgroup, cnews.corel.com. Join that group and post your question there.
I'm stumped on this as well.
