S Suzanne S. Barnhill Dec 21, 2007 #2 Tools | Options | General: Measurement units. But if this is already set to inches, what you're seeing may be "character units" rather than points. If that's the case, see http://www.gmayor.com/Character_Units.htm The above answers the question in your message body; to answer the question in your subject line, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm, which explains how to rename Normal.dot to get a fresh copy with factory-default settings. Also, if you want to *change* default settings for new documents (rather than for Word itself, as in the above case), see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm
