Ruler set to inches but doesn't display correctly - how come?
Just upgraded from Word 2000 to 2003. I am used to working with the ruler
displayed but am now frustrated at the inability to change the ruler markings. I have tried to change them to reflect inches but regardless of what choice I make using the ToolsOptionsGeneral dialog box the markings do not change. My best guess is that they are reflecting centimeters but I can't tell for sure. Is there any other way to change this? |
