inches, points, etc.

[David Thielen]

No - not a VIagra ad .

How do I get what the default measurement is in the running edition of Word?
There is an option to set it to inches, centimeters, points, etc. - I want to
get that setting.

Hi

We can use the code below to get and set the Unit.
Sub Macro1()
Application.Options.MeasurementUnit = wdMillimeters
Debug.Print Application.Options.MeasurementUnit
End Sub

Returns or sets the standard measurement unit for Microsoft Word.
Read/write WdMeasurementUnits.

WdMeasurementUnits can be one of these WdMeasurementUnits constants.
wdCentimeters
wdInches
wdMillimeters
wdPicas
wdPoints

Const wdCentimeters = 1
Const wdInches = 0
Const wdMillimeters = 2
Const wdPicas = 4
Const wdPoints = 3

That's it - thank you.

I hope for Office 2005/.NET2005 that they do a better job with the
documentation for the API so I can find stuff like this myself.

Hi

Thanks for your feedback.
Also I think you may try to use the word's record macro function to find
the macro.
