how to change units of measurement of report

For a quick "guestimate", one inch is about 2 1/2 centimeters.
Even a dictionary has conversion scales you can look up.

This is a function of the Regional and Language settings for your user
account.

Control Panel
Regional and Language Options
On the Regional Options tab, click Customize
in the Measurement System drop down list box, select U.S.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

What software do you wish to change the measurements in. I presume not MS Word?

Also I hate it when there are mass quotes from archives. I can never quite follow what is going on. The pace is too fast for a dim lightbulb like me. I am also really lousy at playing bingo. I can't keep up when marking me numbers off. I would need one of those sexy big dabbers that wipe out a number with on dot. BTW please forgive me I am v tired.
