How do I set up Excel to display the rows and columns in inches?
T TR Young Feb 1, 2007 #3 thank you, John. My apologies for not including version (it is 2003, btw). That sure would be a nice feature for Microsoft to add...

G Gord Dibben Feb 1, 2007 #4 You don't. Row heights are measured in points or pixels. There are 72 points to an inch and "maybe" 96 pixels to the inch. The number that appears in the Standard column width box is the average number of digits 0-9 of the standard font that fit in a cell. For an interesting and enlightening discussion on this subject see http://snipurl.com/dzz8 If you want to use VBA to set height and width in mm. Ole Erlandson has code for setting row and column dimensions. http://www.erlandsendata.no/english/index.php?d=envbawssetrowcol Gord Dibben Excel MVP
