Description:
On this documentation link https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-GB/text/shared/guide/measurement_units.html I can read:

"Selecting Measurement Units

You can select separate measurement units for LibreOffice Writer, LibreOffice Writer/Web, LibreOffice Calc, LibreOffice Impress and LibreOffice Draw documents.

Open a document of the type for which you want to change the measurement units.

Choose LibreOffice - Preferences.

In the left pane of the dialogue box, double-click the application for which you want to select the measurement unit.

Double-click LibreOffice Writer if you want to select the measurement units for text documents.

Click on General.

On the General tab page, select the measurement unit. Close the dialogue box with OK."

But in my installation of LibreOffice it is not possible to double-click on the applications LibreOffice Impress or LibreOffice Writer, since they do not exist (LibreOffice Base and LibreOffice Draw are visible).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open LibreOffice
2.Click on LibreOffice -> Preferences
3.Look for LibreOffice Impress or Libre OfficeWriter - they are not visible.

Actual Results:
LibreOffice Impress or Libre Office Writer are not visible.

Expected Results:
LibreOffice Impress or Libre Office Writer should have been available.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
There is no option Help - About LibreOffice!

Please check the text that you quote from the documentation:

The "Open a document of the type for which you want to change the measurement units" is crucial. Open an Impress document (or create a new one), and then the Options dialog will show the options for the currently active Impress module.
