ruler units are in characters and lines, not inches

[Ward]

Even though I have set the default units as inches in
Word 2003 using the Tools/Options/General feature, the
horizontal ruler has units of ch (which I believe
translates to character) and the veritcal ruler has units
of lines (there are 66 on an 8.5 x 11 page, regardless of
the font). Any idea how I get both rulers to have units
of inches?

Thanks.
