Default Why does the Measurement in rulers not change to cm?

After installing Office 2003 engl. Version on a German Windows XP Word only
displays "ch" as measurement units in the dialogue boxes and obviously uses
the same measuring unit "ch = characters" for rulers. Even if I change the
default setting to inches or centimeters under "Tools-options" the rulers
don't change nor do the dialogues. How come and how do I change this?
