Measurement Units
The default measurement unit in Excel seems to be Imperial
(inches). Can this be set to Metric (millimeters)? Regards Don Bowyer |

This is a Windows OS setting, not an Excel setting. You would go to Windows Control PanelRegional and Language OptionsRegional Options tabCustomize and set the "measurement system" to Metric. This option will affect all programs. Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Sun, 10 Apr 2005 16:36:00 -0700, "Don Bowyer" wrote: The default measurement unit in Excel seems to be Imperial (inches).
