Default Margins in Points, not Inches

After installing Acrobat 7.0 Standard, Word defaults the measurements of
margins to points, not inches. Even the ruler atop and alongside the page is
in points. How do I change this back?

In Word, click on Tools | Options | General | Measurement units:
Inches | OK. If Word won't let you change the setting there,
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 .
