I have just installed Office 2003 on my new computer and I forget how to
change the unit of measure from cm to inches. I want to be able to set my
margins unsing inches, I don't want to have to get a ruler out every time I
want to change a margin! Help!

This is a Windows Setting.

Start>Settings>Control Panel>Regional and Language Settings

Change from Metric to U.S. measurement system.

Hi

I tried what you suggested to change from inches to cm, but it didn't work.
All other applications show cms but Excel continus to show inches. Hopw do I
change Excel to cms???????

Your original post stated you wanted to change from cms to inches so you must be
happy if Excel shows inches.

I know of no other way to change from Metric to US or US to Metric.

There is no provision inside Excel to do this.
