Re: How do I change unit of measure in one document?

Hi Foxcole,

If the setting in Tools=>Options=>General below the 'inches' for
[x] Show pixels for HTML features
isn't turned on but in Format=>Paragraph you're seeing 'px' for space before and space after settings it's possible that the
document has some corruption in it if it's only the one document where you're seeing this.

Have you installed the latest Office 2003 Service Pack and Compatability Pack converter that opens Word 2007 files in Word 2003?

Do you get the same result if you open the document in Office safe mode (hold ctrl key when starting Word then open the problem
document)?

If you use file Save=>As and save as a different name as a .doc file then reopen it, do you still get the same result?

Thank you, Graham, but that does not answer my question. The ruler units are
just fine when I'm viewing this document, and the default unit of measure is
fine too---both of those are in inches.

What is not fine are the units shown in, for example, the paragraph style
leading and spacing: everything in the document itself (not those in my
normal.dot template) are in pixels, but I need them to be inches. My
normal.dot settings are not overriding the document's pixel units.

The only templates attached to the document are Normal, mulitmac.dot (from
Editorium.com; this is a tool to run multiple macros) and SnagIt Add-in. I
have no problems with other documents using these templates, only with this
third-party document created in Word 2007 from a template in which the
default units are set in pixels.

How do I get this document into inches? Is there some reason my normal.dot
isn't using its own default unit of measure in this document?>>
