Callout dimensions inches to feet

[brodiemac]

I have been using several callouts in my floorplan in Visio 2007 to display
the lengths of walls. For some reason, some of the automatic dimensions
display in inches and other in feet & inches. How can I force Vision to use
feet & inches for these call outs? Would have been nice if Microsoft made it
easy like maybe right clicking on the object!!

Hi Brodiemac,

If memory serves, you can right-click on the dimension lines and choose an
option that is something like: "Use page default".

Then, you can right-click on one of the dimensions which has the formatting
you want, and choose "Set as page default" to force the style to the page,
so that the other dimensions respect this formatting. Does that make sense?
