PLEASE help
Would anyone tell me how I could convert the units in
powerpoint from inches to centimeters?
I need to work with centimeters and not inches !!
Thanks

See Sonia's reply if you need to see cm on the ruler and so on.

If you simply need to enter measurements for shape sizes and so on, you can
generally enter XXcm (where XX = your measurement in cm)

For example, in the formatting dialog, Size tab, enter 2.54cm as the width for
a shape and click OK. When you come back to the dialog box, it will show 1"

Email doesn't work in Newsgroups. The intent here is that the full
conversation be publicly viewable so that all can learn from the
information. Anyway, Steve has responded to your post.
