Subject: Word 2003 rulers display in pts not inches
Hello,
All of a sudden, Word 2003 is displaying the ruler in pts instead of
inches. This carries over to the page setup which has the paper
dimensions in pts, as well as header and footer, left and right margins.
I can't find where this "view" is designated. Has anyone experienced
this before and do you know how to switch it back to inches?
Thanks,
Bridget Fitzgerald
