Help! I used to be able to make my textboxes in Word sized in centimeters,
now in Word 2007 (USA) the option to do that (when i open the format text box
dialogue box) is no longer present. Can anyone tell me where this option is
hiding in the new Word?

Thanks!
 
You can set an option so all dialog measurements are in centimeters:
Click the Office button, Word Options, Advanced; scroll down to the
Display section, and set the "Show measurements in units of" box to
centimeters.

If you want to enter only text box sizes in centimeters and leave the
rest of Word in inches, you can type the number with its unit -- for
example, type 3 cm in the box and click OK, and Word will
automatically convert that to 1.18" which is the equivalent. You can
use units of in (or " ), cm, mm, or pt (there are 72 points per
inch).
