Changing to Inch Measurements

[Mjay]

How do you change to inch measurements in Powerpoint (Office XP 2002) and
Windows XP

All suggestions to use Control Panel Regional Settings do not seem to apply.
No Measurement TAB
in the control panel.

Click on the Regional and Lanuage Options.
Select Customize.
Under Numbers tab, did you see a measurement system? Click on the dropdown
field and you will be able to change the setting.

Rebooted. PP displays all sizes in cm. Will accept "xx.x in" or "x.xx"" and
enters correct size but displays equivelent size in cm.

Is there a different setting?

Sometimes you have to change it back and forth an extra time or two before it
