Measurement Units

[Ann Shaw]

Hi

This is baffling me!!! I have Office 2000 and Word and
Excel are both in CMs but when I go into PowerPoint to
adjust my image sizes etc.. the units are showing in
inches???? There is nowhere in PowerPoint options that I
can find to change this - I thought if you change in Word
the rest of Office follows - could this be a bug or am I
just missing something???

Thanks

Ann

PPT picks up these settings from your Windows Control Panel's Regional
Settings. See if changing there helps.

PowerPoint uses your system level setting. Go to the Control Panel and select
Regional Settings. There you can change the numbering system to metric.

With luck, just this:

PowerPoint ruler shows inches instead of centimeters. Or vice versa.
