Select Preferences from the Word menu then click the General button & set
the Measurement System to 'Inches'.
You also have the option of leaving the Measurement System set to whatever
you want & still typing the measurement value in whatever manner you prefer
as long as you also type the system indicator. For example, if the
Measurement System is set to Centimeters you can still type Margins and
other values as 1.25 in or 92 pt, or if set to Inches you can enter 2.54 cm.
