Ruler not changing to other measurements

[Sojouner]

I'm Having trouble geting ruler to change Measurements. I have inches
selected and it displays centimeters. In fact that is the only thing it will
display. Does any one know how I can fix This?

In Word, click on Tools | Options | General | Measurement units:
<choose your preferred unit of measure> | OK. If Word won't let
you change the setting there, then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299339 "You cannot change
ruler measurement unit from character units after upgrade to
Office XP" or http://www.gmayor.com/Character_Units.htm .
