Recently, the margin values in 'page setup' for a Word document changed from
inches to points. How can I change them back to inches as the default value? |

If CyberTaz's suggestion doesn't help, then see

Garfield-n-odie..... you are AWESOME! I have been ready to throw something
at this computer as I have tried over and over to change the default. The first link to the support address fixed it! Thank you!

Just repeat the message "Thank you!" in your head for about a minute
straight. That way I don't have to type it out, but that's how grateful I am. What a strange thing to see. I never would have figured that out! Now all the formatting makes sense again! Yay!

Thanks for that. I just posted the same query a couple of days ago - I guess
I should have read through all of these others first - but then I was a first time visitor, but I'm learning fast :-) Cheers "garfield-n-odie" wrote: If CyberTaz's suggestion doesn't help, 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 .
