Default the ruler's measurement units don't change

Word 2003

I went to Tools, Options, General, and changed the "Measurement Units" to
"Inches" but the ruler still appears in ... gee, I don't know what unit it is
.... centimeters? Points? It goes from 2 to 42.

How can I make the ruler appear in inches?
