Ruler Unit Of Measure Settings
Hi,
I'm using Word 2003 and for some reason my ruler is now showing "points (pts)" as the unit of measure instead of inches as it had before up until yesterday. I have tried to change this back to inches but I cannot seem to figure out how to revert back to inches. Can anyone tell me how to fix this because it's driving me nuts. Thanks Much, Rob |

Did you change the setting in Tools | Options, General? If the setting is
correct in the Options dialog box but you are still not seeing the correct unit of measurement, see this article: http://www.gmayor.com/Character_Units.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rob" wrote: Hi, I'm using Word 2003 and for some reason my ruler is now showing "points (pts)" as the unit of measure instead of inches as it had before up until yesterday.

These things happen, at times.

Ruler Unit Of Measure Settings
In Word 2007, go to Office button Word Options Advanced. The
measurement setting is the Display group there. If you need to use the web page that Stefan mentioned, the part starting with "Press Alt+F11" is the same in Word 2007 as in 2003 or earlier. -- 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.
