Bonjour,

I guess I should have been more explicit in my preceding reply.
I started my message with:

It depends how you set up you variables:

Dim MyPageWidth As Single
MyPageWidth = PointsToCentimeters(ActiveDocument.PageSetup.PageWidth)

will yield a precise number.
<end quote>

I should have written a bit more about the fact that I was suggesting that
you use Single as I suspected that you were using Integer or Long variables.

I'll try to be clearer next time!

Glad you finally sorted it out.
