When indenting paragraphs, what does ch stand for?
In Word 2002, in the Paragraph window, when setting the indentation for a
paragraph, the unit displayed is "ch". What is this or what does it stand for? I can find nothing about it in help anywhere. I have units set to display in inches, though it doesn't matter what unit I choose, it always displays "ch" in the paragraph indent area. |

Thanks so much. Of course, after I posted the question, the fact that "ch"
likely stood for character became apparent. But it's still a bother when I've been used to setting indents by tenths of an inch instead. The page referenced shows a workaround but it requires running a macro every time you open a document, apparently.

Have you actually read the page?
The problem is attributable to a minor bug. The page shows a fix. It does not even require you to run a macro, but to apply some code in direct mode - once!. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org The Dope wrote: Thanks so much.
