Reply #1: Somewhere in Options [View All]

or maybe tools is a menu for your default unit of measurement. Find it and set it to inches.

Open your document. Go to page setup, on one of the tabs it has paper size. Type in your settings, the drop down box should show custom. If it doesn't, choose custom then type the size in.

Then go back to you doc. With luck you will find it looks set up in the size you chose. Probably need to move mouse down to bottom left side where there are three or four little boxes. Choose the middle one, can't remember what its called off top of head. Maybe layout view or something. Also good it you go into options/tools/options, whatever that complicated tango, find a setting for 'show margins in page layout' or something similar, and turn it on.

Good to be paranoid about MS practices, however with Word they just got too fluffed up with their own importance.
