To go the other way... Word can't. You'll have to use a calculator (one happens to be part of Windows) to multiply the measurement in points by the conversion factor 0.0352778 (which is 2.54 cm/inch divided by 72 points/inch). -- 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. |

One other thing to look at, from the menu, select Tools, Options. On the
options screen, select the General tab. You should have a Measurement Units list that includes Inches, Points, Centimeters, etc... "ferari" wrote: how can we change measurement for page border from pt into centimeter |

"ferari" wrote: how can we change measurement for page border from pt into centimeter Unfortunately, neither your answer nor the one I posted will do what ferari asked for. Having gone and looked, the Page Border dialog's Width dropdown allows only the choices that are hard-coded into it, all of which are in points. Even with a macro, you're limited to the same selection of widths. If you want a border with a specific width in centimeters, you can calculate the equivalent in points (multiply the number of centimeters by 28.35) and choose the nearest available entry from the 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. |

I think the question is about margins and/or rulers, rather than
border(line)s around paragraphs. In that case, Kathy's solution would be the right one -- but in this case, google doesn't even show me an author entry in the message list, unlike the many items that were posted night-before-last that show me no message when I click on them (someone else noted the same problem in another thread recently).
