Changing Metric Margins

[Guest]

I recently purchased a new computer, with Vista. Now all my margins in Word
2003 are in metric. How do I change them to imperial?

Tools > Options > General. Set the Measurement units box to Inches.

If you have any problem with that, see

I have the same type problem. Only it is not Vista it is Word 2003 because I
am running WindowsXP Pro. You can change the settings under Tools but it
does not change the display in the Word document. I tried changing it to
each of the various options and it remained in centimeters regardless of the
setting in Tools. Anyone else want to give it a shot??

Graham, Yes I did and your solution worked like a charm! It wasn't until I
saw your post to a similar question in another part of this forum that I
really went and took a close look at your website. Thanks.
