Word XP: Changing measurement unit in Ruler

Try here:

Word --> Tools --> Options --> General (Tab)

Select the unit under "Measurement Units" combo

Harish,

As I noted in my question, I already tried that.

What is the setting in your Regional Settings ? Also, what is "ch" ?

Harish,

My regional settings are to US measurements, and I have no clue what unit "ch" refers to.

Very perplexed,

Patrick

Change the unit (in Word) to any other like Pixel or Centimetre. Does it affect ?

I tried changing the unit to cm.  It had no effect on the Ruler or the Paragraph formatting form.  It did, however,
force the margins box on the Page Setup form to update (it had been showing inches--correctly--before).

When I changed the default measure back to inches, Page Setup picked up the change, but the Ruler and
the Paragraph form are still showing that mysterious "ch".

Patrick

Have you tried enabling/disabling the "Show pixels for HTML features" below that combo ?

In my Word (xp only) the change affects the ruler also.

Just tried it; no apparent effect.

rvidal393,

That did it!  (FWIW, I went the VBE way--I try not to touch the Registry unless I absolutely have to.)

Thanks so much,

Patrick
