<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I actually have three questions, but they are very simple, so hopefully you'll help me out on all three.<br />
<br />
Question 1:<br />
My default units in visio are mm, I want to change it to standard. &nbsp;I have installed both english US &amp;&nbsp;english Canada, I have changed English US to the default language in control panel, I have also changed the language in the MS Office language settings to have only English US in the editing languages. &nbsp;I then rebooted my computer just to be on the safe side. Everything is still in mm<br />
<br />
Question 2:<br />
<br />
In visio there is supposed to be a tool that will allow me to draw a line between two points and it will indicate the distance between the two points. &nbsp;I can't find this option. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Question 3:<br />
<br />
What is the best method/location to learn about this program so I don't have to pepper you folks with simple questions like these? &nbsp;I am on a tight deadline and can't afford the time to figure this out right now. &nbsp;After this project is finished, then I can spend some time getting to know this program. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanking you in advance for your help.<br />
