In microsoft word, how can switch the ruler from cm to inches on the screen, the area I am working on?

Question

I tried the way "downboy" told me, but could not change the rulers from cm to inch. The rulers indicates the page width and length, such as the legal size paper is 8 1/2"x11" after set up the page might be 7" X 10 3/4" etc. Then we can work on the area we set up. I have no idea with cm. I am used to inches. Please direct me.Thanks.

Change the default unit of measure
You can set the default unit of measure (for example, inches or points) that Microsoft Word uses for measurements you enter in dialog boxes and for the Word rulers.

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.


In the Measurement units box, click the option you want.
Note To change the default unit of measure in dialog boxes to pixels, select the Show pixels for HTML features check box.


Good Luck
