Unlike most Word dialogs, the Font dialog does not permit you to enter
measurements in anything but points (most other dialogs permit you to use
inches or cm or mm, and it will convert to points). But Word can use any
font size for 1 point to 1,630 points, in half-point increments. For
conversion purposes, one inch = 72 points.

Is it possible to format the font to a specific size to a fraction of an
inch? (e.g. 3/64, 3/32 of an inch) or use decimal of an inch (e.g. .0468

or
.0937 of an inch)?
