Make sure that Tools Options General tab Measurement units is set to
€¯Inches€¯. In case of Word 2007, you will find the setting he Office button
Word Options Advanced View group.


If the above does not solve the problem, see:

Tools | Options | General: Measurement units. If this proves not to be the

That's the second time in a few days this has been asked ("pixels" the
first time). That suggests there's some keyboard shortcut that it's
easy to hit accidentally that's making it happen?

I doubt it. It's just that topics in general seem to come in waves.
