Office 2010 Unit of Measurements Deployment

[riverphoenix12]

Hi all,

Wondered if anyone could help. We have Office 2010 deployed on the network. Trouble is, the units of measurements are all in inches. I know this can be changed in the options of Office by a user.

I wondered if there was a registry key or something I could send out to mass change the units of measurements to cm.

Any ideas, would be grateful.

No idea where the setting for Word etc. is stored, but I do know that normally it defaults to whatever the locale of the computer is set to. Find Region and Language on the control panel and check the unit setting:

If it's wrong, unfortunately there's no regular Group Policy setting to correct it. However, if you are using (or able to being using) Group Policy Preferences, you can set it in User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Options > Regional Options.
