problem while using meters (units) on building plan

[STINGER]

i use Visio 2003
when i try to use the meters, Visio round the numbers.
for example:
the real number is 2.8 and visio show me 3
here's a screenshot

Hi Stinger,

Try right-clicking the dimension line and choosing: "Units & Precision"

You can choose to show more decimal places in the dialog that appears.

thank you
and what about the wall?
i could not find Units & Precision while right clicking the wall

Double click the wall -> edit text
Right click, Insert Field, Custom Properties
And choose a format.

thank you but there is only one more problem
when i copy this to word it turns to (mm) millimeters
do you know a way to fix it or maybe another way to move stuff from Visio to
Word without things like that to happen?

Just a guess of mine :
Have you tried menu Tools, Options, Units, Current Page ?

 

[STINGER]

yes i did it
but there is something wierd
the units change to mm only when i copy the whole page to another office
program(ctrl+c)
but when i copy it to ms paint its stay the same on meters.
i think that i need to change something on the office global settings, but i
don't know how.
