I have tried to change the ruler to "inches", but when I open Word again it
is reverted back to centimeters. (Generally it is hard to keep a modified
Word template from deveriting back to the installed version.)

'Generally' in what sense? Not normally on problem unless there's something
strange in your installation.

Have you looked at

It may provide a clue.

Are you sure the ruler is displaying centimeters (cm) and not
character units (ch)? If it's the latter, then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299339 "You cannot change
ruler measurement unit from character units after upgrade to
Office XP" or http://www.gmayor.com/Character_Units.htm .

Yes I have, but I now looked at it more seriously. I have to check and see if
I have the upgrade. Thank you
