Why are my ruler measurements in points when my default is inches
Using the latest version of Word including most recet updates.
Until recently my rulers displayed correctly. Recently they changed and are displaying a very small measurement (?points), even though the measurement units in Tools | Options | General are set at inches. Measurements elsewhere such as margins, page size, appear correctly in inches. Has the programme become corrupted or have I missed a festure? |
