My version of Powerpoint (Office 2003) has the
measurements all set up in the metric system. How can I
change that? I'd like to work using the Imperial
system. I've looked all over the software for
a "preferences" location where I could make the change
with no success. All other software in my computer,
including the other Office tools, are set to display
measurement in inches. Thanks for your help.
