Comment 3 for bug 926209

ScislaC: agreed, wish 2 is sufficient for end user to attain wish 1. PPT page sizes are not standards like A4 is, but that application is so common that it's (broken) page sizes are almost a de facto standard.

This is not an exact duplicate of bug 171808. That one has adding custom sizes (duplicate) and removing standard page sizes (not suggested here).

I think it is a bad idea to let users modify the standard page sizes, but they should be able to add/modify/remove custom page sizes. If users can modify standard page sizes they are going to forget that they did so, and then have all sorts of odd glitches later on when what they think they are working on an A4 drawing (for instance) when it actually isn't. I just wasted lots of time with a similar issue in PowerPoint (where A4 is not actually A4).
