Global print settings - metric to inches

I am using Office 2003 professional. When I am previewing a document in
Excel or Access, the page settings for margins are in metric rather than
inches. MSWord settings are in inches, so this is only effecting Access and
Excel.

How can I change the margin and page settings back to inches from mm and cm?

Thanks.

Hi Dudley,

In the Windows (XP) control panel, Regional & Language Options,
check the[Customize] settings on the 'Regional Options' tab to
see if the 'Measurment System' for 'Numbers' is set to U.S. or metric.

Thanks, Bob. That fixed the problem. I looked at the regional & languages
options, but never clicked the customize button.

Appreciate your help, and our IT helpdesk guy says thanks too.

Regards,
Dudley

Hi Bob,
I'm using Office 2007, on Vista, and I'm having the same problems on all
office programs, i tried going into control panel and chaning the region but
it did not help.
Is there any other way?
