Points are print units of measurement, and pixels are screen units of measurement; one point is
equal in size to one pixel. You can use the following equivalencies to convert inches or centimeters
to twips, pixels or points (a twip is 1/20 of a pixel):
•
1 pixel = 1 point = 1/72 inch = 20 twips
•
1 inch = 72 pixels = 72 points = 1440 twips
•
1 cm = 567 twips
