Word 2003 - units of measurements on ruler

K

Kimsuz

My ruler is suddenly displaying measurements in ch. It is also displaying
this measurement in the tab dialogue box. This happened a couple of years
ago and I can't remember how to change it. Help needed please.

In Word, click on Tools | Options | General | Measurement units:
<choose your preferred unit of measure> | OK. If Word won't let
you change the setting there, then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299339 "You cannot change
ruler measurement unit from character units after upgrade to
Office XP", except that if you decide to delete the Settings
registry key, the Word 2003 key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Data\Settings.
