Hi Felix,

I think the settings you are after are actually Windows settings.
Things like image size etc.

You can access them at StartSettingsControl PanelRegional and Language
Options
Under the Regional Options tab click on customize and choose metric for the
measurement system.
Make sure you click the Apply buttons before you OK out.

These instructions are for Windows XP. If you are using a different OS then
there may be
some minor differences but the basics should be the same.

Just a note to Martin's suggestion..................

This will affect all Application settings, not just Excel.

It did not change: Do I have to restart?

The interesting thing is that in Word it is metric and in Excel in inches....
