cm to pts?
When formatting a word document, how do you switch from measurements in cm to
points? ex) I need a series of documents that have top margins of 75 pts and bottom margins of 70 points. But when I am working on a different computer, the "Page set-up" options are in cm. |

cm to pts?
Don't bother to switch. Just type the point measurements in the boxes and
include the pt unit, and Word will do the conversion automatically. If it bothers you enough to switch, the answer depends on what version of Word it is. In 2003 or earlier, go to Tools Options General and change the "Measurement units" dropdown. In 2007 and 2010, go to Office button Word Options Advanced, scroll down to the Display section, and change the same dropdown. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. saranm wrote: When formatting a word document, how do you switch from measurements in cm to points? ex) I need a series of documents that have top margins of 75 pts and bottom margins of 70 points.
