Suzanne,

My "measurement units" setting in Word 2003 is NOT persistent. Though I
keep setting it to inches and it will stay that way while I'm working on the
current document, sooner or later I look up when I'm working in another
document and it has changed back to points.

How can I set the default measurement units to inches and have it "stick".

BTW, the link you provided in your previous response no longer seems to be
active.

Thanks,

Tony
