does anyone know how to change the unit of measure in MS office? whenever i go to page setup, the unit is always in cm. its a bit hard for me as i usually measure paper in inches. :slanted: i already went to Word > Preferences > General > Measurement Units: Inches btw. the ruler changed measure but not the way word measures my paper dimensions...
Are you talking about the measurement of paper used for printing? I thought you meant the ruler for the layout, but your last sentence makes it seem otherwise.
yep, thats what i'm talking about. i vaguely remember the measurements being shown in inches in word 03/07. i was wondering if you could do the same for the mac version.
i encountered the same problem before, go to word, then preferences, then general. you'll find a box to change the unit of measurement. hope that helps your problem.
Go to: System Preferences International Formats Measurement Units: US You may also change the "Region" to United States na lang so that the standard paper size for Word, Pages, and other office apps would be US Letter (short bond : 8.5x11).
go to system preference, international, then unit of measurement, change it to US. hope that's the right one. =)
that did the trick. thanks! i never thought of checking my system preferences. all along i thought it was in word. haha! isn't it odd that my MBP, which came from the states, has metric set by default?
enshong answered it na pala. hehe i had a hard time too at first trying to figure out how to change that.
Hi, I think the international standard in measurements now is the SI (systeme internationale) units which is based on metric units. Even US has accepted this system already.
