Using the latest version of Word including most recet updates.
Until recently my rulers displayed correctly. Recently they changed
and are
displaying a very small measurement (?points), even though the
measurement
units in Tools | Options | General are set at inches. Measurements
elsewhere
such as margins, page size, appear correctly in inches.
Has the programme become corrupted or have I missed a festure?
