Measurements defaulting to pixel units
Hi -
I recently changed my units of measure from centimeters to pixels whilst i was messing with an image in Word 2007. After I was done, I changed the measurement back to centimeters however now whenever I go to change a table row height setting or a line spacing its displaying everything in px instead of cm even though the setting via the Ribbon Advanced is clearly set to centimeters :S I just want it to go back to how it twas... thanks in advance for your advice. paul... |

Measurements defaulting to pixel units
Hi Paul. I am not sure if this will work. Go to Tools -- Options --
General. You should be able to change the measurement units here.

This is Word 2007. There is no Tools Options General in 2007.
Word 2007 Office button Word Options Advanced Display Show measurements in units of or if that doesn't fix it, see if http://www.gmayor.com/Character_Units.htm does the trick. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Zorrina wrote: Hi Paul.

Measurements defaulting to pixel units
Thanks but this doens't resolve the problem. Measurements are set to
centimeters via Advanced Display however line spacing, tables, etc are still in units of px. Not sure what the link refers to but it comes up as service unavailable. This has got me beat - I'm sure someone must have experienced the same issue by now? May just have to run a repair over Word? Thanks for your help - any other suggestions gratefully received! paul...

Measurements defaulting to pixel units
The link may be blocked by your company IT, which seems a bit short sighted,
however it suggests the following: Press ALT+F11. This opens the macro editor. Press CTRL+G (View Immediate Window). This provides a 'chat' window in which you can type vba code to be executed immediately. In that window, type Options.UseCharacterUnit =False and press the enter key. You can now close the macro editor and return to Word Has that helped? If not then rename the Word data key in the registry and rename the normal template to normal.old with Word closed. (See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. ). You may be blocked from doing this by your company IT settings in which case consult your IT support. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ravenatwork wrote: Thanks but this doens't resolve the problem.

Measurements defaulting to pixel units
Found the problem... Word Options Advanced Display - uncheck the box that
says "Show pixels for HTML features". I must have checked this box inadvertantly when I originally changed the measurements to pixels. Sorry for the muck around but thanks for the help.
