Please help me, ive had to replace my hard drive and re-install windows xp
since ive done this all my setting for measurement ie page setup are in
inches not mm. Can someone please tell me how i can change this and set as
default for all users.
 
Hi Wes

Ive set the language etc within control panel, default UK, keyboard, date
and currency etc are fine. Its just my measurements in all windows based
applications are in inches. If it helps my, original version of xp was an
oem version and my old drive had an image file on hense thats why i had to
purchase a full version of xp and format my new drive and install it. Ive
also searched the help files and had no joy, could it be due to the initial
install of xp and ive missed something regarding default settings.
 
Sumo,

Start | Run | Type: control international | OK |
Regional Options tab | Customize button |
Click the V next to Measurement system: |
Select Metric | Apply | OK | Apply | OK
 
No good buddy my margins, envelopes, paper sizes etc within word are still
all imperial inches. Anymore ideas.
 
Open MS Word.. select TOOLS - OPTIONS.. look on the General page.. towards
the base of the window..

See it yet?.. measurement units?..
