How to Change Measurement Unit of Office 2003 07 and 10
Couple of months ago, I wrote about how to show text boundaries in MS Office. If you need to know about text boundaries then read the following post:
- How to Show Text Boundaries in Microsoft Office: Applies for 2003, 07 and 10
Today Im gonna talk about changing the measurement unit of Microsoft Office. You know what is measurement unit. This is the unit by which you can set up your page size, margins etc. etc.. But sometimes it may be changed due the change in the language option. Or other program may lead the change. Whatever the reason you might be in trouble due to the change in the measurement scale.
Or sometimes the default settings might not be in your favor. For example, you would like to work in inches. But default setting is centimeters. And you may not know that 1 inch equals to 2.54 centimeters. And this is very irritating too.
Ok lets see how to customize the measurement scale. Im gonna discuss about all the running versions of Microsoft Office.
For Office 2003 Users:
Open MS Word > Tools Menu > Options > General > Measurement Units > There are 5 options: Inches, Centimeters, Millimeters, Points, Picas > Choose any of them that suits you > Hit OK.
For Office 2007 Users:
Open MS Word > Hit on the Office Button from top-left corner > Click Word Options Button > Choose Advanced from left pane > Now scroll down to the Display section > Show measurement in units of: choose any of the units from the drop down box > Hit OK.
For Office 2010 User:
Open MS Word > File > Options > Advanced > Scroll down to the Display Section > Choose your desired unit from the drop down box right to the Show measurement in units of > Hit OK

Google Unit Currency Converter
The general idea about Google is its a search engine. Though many people are familiar with the different services of Google, but only few of them know how to use Google smartly. Yeah! I mean it . . .
Maybe you know about how to use Google as Calculator. Google also gives you the interface of a scientific calculator if you type scientific calculator in the search box. Ive written some posts about these topics. If youre not familiar with these, you can read . . .
- Different Search Techniques of Google
- Use Google as Calculator
- Google Scientific Calculator
Today Im gonna show two more tips of Google! You can use Google as Converter. Google let you convert currency and unit.
Unit Converter:
You can convert from one unit to another by Google Unit Converter.
- Simply open Google Home Page
- Type Unit Converter and press Enter
- Immediately you will get a conversion interface at the top of search results
First you have to choose a category. Lets consider Speed. Then choose Miles/hour from the left box and Km/hour from the right box. Type 100 in the Mile box and get 160.934 Km as result!
Currency Converter:
Google also let you convert from one currency to another. You can convert Euro into Dollar or Dollar into Pound. The procedure is same as Unit Conversion.
- Open Google Home Page
- Type Currency Converter and press Enter
- Get the converter immediately
There are two options to choose currencies. Lets choose US Dollar in the first box. And Euro in the next. Type 1 in the dollar box and get 0.76 as result in the Euro box.
You should notice the conversion rate at the top. 1 US Dollar Equals to 0.76 Euro. This conversion process is alive. Rates may change frequently.
Google tries to provide you the most recent rate. But it cant guarantee the accuracy of the exchange rate.
You can also read Currency Conversion Disclaimer.
Update!
By the way, Im having trouble to use the currency converter and unit converter. Dont know for how long time this problem will prevail. When Im searching by Unit or Currency Converter, even calculator, only search results appear. There is no converter or calculator!
However you can use this tool to convert currency. This is also very cool!
