Our IT guys loaded Office Xp on my system. When I opened MS Word the units of
measure on the ruler are in Centimeters. I've tried every setting I can find
and they all read "inches" so I can't figure out why the display still says
centimeters. Help.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299339 "You cannot change ruler
measurement unit from character units after upgrade to Office XP".

Thank-you very much for the answer. I have been struggling with this for
