Hi BJ,

In Word use the Options menu (Alt,T,O,A) and in the Advanced section scroll down to the 'Display' section to set the
"Show measurement units in..."
box. Word uses its own settings to override the system settings.

Yes, I did change the regional settings ....in fact according to my computer,
I now live in the States. Your answer prompted me to uninstall and
reinstall Office after I had made the changes. Now Excel displays in inches
but Word still displays in cm. It doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for your
help. <<
