Default margins to inches rather than pt

If the unit of measurement is set to inches but you're seeing something
else, they may be "character units." See

In Word 2007 my margins are in pt rather than inches. How do I change

it?

I have the same problem in Word 2003 sp2. I go to tools/options/general

and
change the display to "inches" but that makes no difference in the

display.
I have even gone to the trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling Word -

but
no luck.

Any ideas? Something fouled up in a config file somewhere? Help!
