One other thing to look at, from the menu, select Tools, Options. On the
options screen, select the General tab. You should have a Measurement Units
list that includes Inches, Points, Centimeters, etc...

Unfortunately, neither your answer nor the one I posted will do what ferari
asked for. Having gone and looked, the Page Border dialog's Width dropdown
allows only the choices that are hard-coded into it, all of which are in points.
Even with a macro, you're limited to the same selection of widths.

If you want a border with a specific width in centimeters, you can calculate the
equivalent in points (multiply the number of centimeters by 28.35) and choose
the nearest available entry from the dropdown.
