MS Word shows a horizontal and a vertical ruler that it uses to align margins, paragraphs, images, tables, etc. This ruler can be customized and played with by the user in many ways. I use it extensively in formatting my documents.
However, I use MS Word 2007 where the ruler unit is in inches by default (refer the image below). And somehow I am not comfortable with the inches scale.
So, I considered changing the units to Centimeters. If you have similar intent, follow the two steps elaborated below:-
Jan 24, 2018 Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010. Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010 use the Ribbon instead of the file menu. Enabling and disabling the rulers is done through either of the following methods. Click the View Ruler icon that is found on the top of the right vertical scroll bar, as shown in the picture. You can also click the View tab and check the box for Ruler. The rulers in Word only display when you’re in Print Layout view. So, if you don’t see the rulers, and you haven’t turned them off, click the “View” tab and then click the “Print Layout” button in the Views section. The View tab is also where you can hide or show the rulers.
Step 1: Open MS Word and navigate to File -> Word Options.
Step 2: On the Word Options window, switch to the Advanced tab (on the left pane). Scroll to the section for Display and choose the desired unit from the drop down placed against the option reading Show measurements in units of. Click on Ok when done.
That’s it. You now have a ruler showing the unit that you find easy to work with. Here is mine that reads in cm.
Don’t see the ruler? You can activate it by navigating to View tab. Tick mark Ruler on the Show/Hide section.Image Credit: Biking Nikon
