Just upgraded from Word 2000 to 2003. I am used to working with the ruler
displayed but am now frustrated at the inability to change the ruler
markings. I have tried to change them to reflect inches but regardless of
what choice I make using the ToolsOptionsGeneral dialog box the markings
do
not change. My best guess is that they are reflecting centimeters but I
can't
tell for sure. Is there any other way to change this?
