I looked it up since it made me curious also:
1.. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
2.. In the Measurement units box, click the option you want.
That should do it.
Clee, I only have 1 box below the measurment unit drop down and that is "Show
pixels for HTML feature". Also the "Character Unit" box is set for inches,
but in Word the ruler still displays in centimeters?
Hi Graham Mayor. My "Unit Measurement" box under Tools, Options, General tab
is set for inches already. But my ruler still displays in centimeters. The
same for my indenting options as well as my space options. They all are set
for centimeters?
Karen, When I click on Tool menu, click Options, and click the General tab,
the measurement units box is set for inches--but my ruler still displays
centimeters.
Did you *read* the article that Graham pointed to?
Those are not centimeters, they're "character units", and the article
describes a simple method for getting rid of them. When you follow the steps
in the article, your ruler and other options will appear in inches, as the
dialog says they should be.
