Default Change measurement, millimeters to inches in word2003

I want to thank you too.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled Office Professional 2003, sure that it
would fix my proble. Of course it didn't.

I should have checked here first.

Thanks again!

I have a user running Word2003 on a Win2k PC, with lastest updates.
Her Horizontal ruler looks to be in millimeter she needs it in inchs, but I
can't seem to change it. I've gone to: "tools", "Options", the "General" Tab,
"Measurement Units" but it shows "inches". Her: "File", "Page Setup", "Paper
Size", is Letter 8.5 by 11. I've tried renaming her normal.dot so word will
create a new one when Word opened next. That didn't help & she could no
longer access her Word macros. I had to put the old Normal.DOT back. I'm
beginning to think I might have to make a registry change. Please help.
