I am using the Word 2007 test drive but am unable to change my ruler to
inches. It is correct in my Tools - Options - Measurement.

Any suggestions?

Hi Pat,

If you're using the Online Test Drive for Office 2007 the default setting for the ruler matches the regional settings on your PC.
For Southern California should be Inches in Word.

If you're using either the online Test Drive or the Download of Office 2007 Beta 2, you can use Alt+T,O to get to the Word 2007
settings and in the Advanced section choose the Display category and you should be able to change the settings there.

The only 2007 app that has a Tools=>Options=>Measurement Units
choice would be Publisher 2007 and in the online test drive you should also be able to choose inches, but you may find that you
need to select another choice (okay) then reaccess it and select inches again. (It can also depend on which of the template sizings
you opened).
