change paper size

[Susan]

How do I change the default unit of measure for paper size from cm to inches.
I changed all by itself during the day and I can't change it back.

Select Tools > Options > General tab. In "Measurement units", select Inches
and click OK.

In case of Word 2007, you will find the option here: Office button > Word
Options > Advanced category > View group > Show measurements in units of:

The setting is used for measurements you enter in dialog boxes and for the
Word rulers.
