Convert ruler, etc. from metric to inches in Office 2007 ... BJ Lohm 4/22/2007 11:52:03 PM All my measurements in Office 2007 appear as cm and I would prefer inches. I installed it as English(Canada) but changed it to English(United States) assuming that would correct the problem but it hasn't. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Convert ruler, etc. from metric to inches in Office 2007 ... BJ Lohm 4/24/2007 12:30:02 AM Yes, I did change the regional settings ....in fact according to my computer, I now live in the States. Your answer prompted me to uninstall and reinstall Office after I had made the changes. Now Excel displays in inches but Word still displays in cm. It doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for your help.

Re: Convert ruler, etc. from metric to inches in Office 2007 ... BJ Lohm 4/24/2007 5:30:02 PM Hi Bob, Thank you! I am now happily using inches :-) The shortcut didn't seem to work but I found Options by clicking on the Office icon. The new version looks vastly different so I may be calling for help again ... it is good to know this group is here. Thanks again, Bev "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi BJ, > > In Word use the Options menu (Alt,T,O,A) and in the Advanced section scroll down to the 'Display' section to set the > "Show measurement units in..." > box.
