Changing units from CM to inches in ruler in Ms-word 2007.

Sometimes when you change display option from Office Button >>Word Option>>Advance>>Display, you can’t see any changes in ruler. Mostly it is because of Asian language compatibility. 

If you have this problem, you can correct this by doing following steps. 

• Go to Office Button (Left top corner, round button) 
• Click on WORD OPTION (Near the “Exit word” button)
• Click on ADVANCED in the left panel.
• Go to the DISPLAY.
• Go to the Show measurement in unit of  drop down menu with Inches, Centimeters, Millimeters, Points, or Picas. Selcet one of them (e.g. Inches)
• Click on OK

Now,

• Press ALT+F11. You can see the macro editor. 
  
• Press CTRL+G (or Go to View >> Immediate Window).  
• In this window, type vba code as follows:

          Options.UseCharacterUnit =False

Then press Enter.

Now, it’s done. You can see your ruler in Inches.

Good luck.
