How do I change default unit of measure from cm to inches?
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! -- TTFN

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.
