Hello. After I formatted my PC and reinstalled Windows, I sadl
discovered that things were not the same! When trying to configure th
size of a table or a picture in Word, the software allows me to us
inches or percentage only - no metric system at all! I tried to ad
centimetre configurations but there is no such option available. Do
need to install some kind of an extra "package" to use metric system
Or is there an elusive solution? Any help
 
Hi Oberon

check your regional settings on the control panel (start / settings /
control panel or similar depending on operating system)

Cheers

As JulieD suggests this is caused by using the default regional settings (US
English) in Windows. Change to your local country.
Note that you can type measurements in any of the settings dialogs in any
valid measuring system eg 5mm, 2", 13pt etc. which will override the default
measuring system. Set the measuements at tools > options > general.
