Word 2003 Set-up - Measurement

[Guest]

I have Word 2003 and when I go to set up the page margins, among other
things, the measurement has changed to 'points' rather than the inches I am
used to working with. And, since I don't understand points, I cannot get the
document to be setup correctly.

I have looked everywhere and cannot find out how to change this back.

Thanks for any help.

If it really is points you can change it under Tools > Options > General.

But it may be character units, in which case see the article "You cannot
change ruler measurement unit from character units after upgrade to Office
XP" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299339

I *think* the character units issue affects only the ruler, not dialogs.
