1. Add these 2 drawing sizes to the standard list. These are the actual sizes of the corresponding page sizes in PowerPoint. They are visible in that application only after the page size is selected. A4, for instance, shows 297mm x 210mm, but there is a
fixed in stone set of margins which are subtracted off to give the real page size.
PowerPoint A4 10.83" x 7.5"
PowerPoint Letter/Screen 10 x 7.5"
2. provide a method for adding custom page sizes, permanently, to the standard list. At present the user can use custom, save the SVG, and use that as the starting SVG for a new drawing. That works, but it is clunky. It would be better if custom sizes could be given names and added to the list. This information could be stored in the same place other program settings
are maintained.

This should really only be one request and that would be adding custom sizes permanently. By implementing the ability to add them, it takes care of your first request. "Powerpoint" paper sizes aren't real standards in the world and do not deserve to clutter up our page sizes menu... basically if we go there, we have to add tons of specialty stuff for all kinds of proprietary software that most of our users don't use.
