Running Word 2003 SP2 on XPPro. My rulers have apparently decided to display
in units of "characters" even though this is not a choice for units and the
default font is NOT a fixed font. Paragraph formatting is in characters also.

I tried closing Word and deleting normal.dot and doing a "detect and
repair." Neither fixed the problem. Another wrinkle is that, if I tell Word
to "check for updates," if finds three "required" updates for Word 2000!! - I
am running 2003 SP2.

How do I fix this?
