Default ruler has incorrect measurements, what am I doing wrong?

incorrect inches and centimeters don't do much better at helping with that
either.

How would "units" help you know how big something is going to print?

Why is it possible to change the measurement type anyway if it can't be
displayed correctly... All Office programs should use just "units" and not
cm
or anything else. Why would you want to see things in cm if the
measurements
are not correct.
Can't quite get it. Thanks for the info, though.

Again, the onscreen size doesn't mean anything.

A page at 100% on a 15' monitor will be much smaller than a page at 100% on
a 20" monitor, but both will still print on a letter sized piece of paper
(if that is what you are using).

Good thing you are not trying do create an architectural plan of a 100'
building - I can't image what that monitor would cost!
