Sometimes other applications can change the measurement units in Word from their default setting. You can change these back to their default (or change them to another setting) by doing the following:


1. Click the Office Button.

2. Click the Word Options button.

3. Select Advanced in the left pane.

4. Scroll down to the Display section.

5. Use the Show measurements in units of dropdown to select from Inches, Centimeters, Millimeters, Points, or Picas.

6. Click OK.

    Tech-Recipes, thanks for being there. I can understand adding the new features, buy why change the program so drastically. Thus far, it takes more mouse picks than before to do some key tasks and using the right click is more unproductive than before not to mention doing away with some of the Ctrl options makes using 2007 frustrating. It may be prettier and have more icons but it is not practical. I am VERY GOOD with Microsoft Word and do not need all of the little pictures/icons to help me decide what to do and then do it for me.
