Default Tab Stop is 3.27 ch?
Currently have Office 2003 and recently noticed tabs and indents have changed
from inches to "xx .ch". The tab stop default shows up as 3.27 ch and we can't seem to remove it. Also on paragraph setting, 'ch' shows up and spacing is 'line'. How do we get back to the inches and pts for these two as well? thank you |

Mr. Freedman,
Received the same 'help' from CyberTaz, and it worked in a couple of minutes. Please see my response. Thank you as well; this was driving me crazy. Any idea where this may have been introduced to my system, was it in a MACRO from another program?

It's unlikely to have been a macro, and certainly not one from another
program. It might have been the result of opening a document sent to you by someone else who had that setting on their computer. Graham Mayor, whose article helped you, says that character units are a side effect of Asian language support. That, too, can come with a document from another computer. If that's what happened, see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839371 for help in removing it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. rtvs wrote: Mr. Freedman, Received the same 'help' from CyberTaz, and it worked in a couple of minutes.
