Old post I know but here is an FYI and some math for the 1440 answers above...

A twip is not simply 1/1440th of an inch. A twip is 1/20 of a point.

The point you are working with in a printable document, typically, is a postscript 72dpi:

72dpi * 20Twips/Point = 1440twips.

So in dealing with say a Crystal report, with a twips width of 15840 (and margins of 0 twips), the width would be 11 inches (15840 / (72 * 20)).

Based on a screen density of 96 dpi, the report will post to the screen at:

1056px wide (96dpi * 11in = 1056px).
