247446 2004-06-24 12:47:00 when working with excel I would like to be able to size a column to a metric measure and not the font character measure that default sets. I get frustrated with trying to create a chart to a specific size and constantly having to print out to check dimensions. Is there any way of converting to metric measures. I run office 2000 fran (5808)
247447 2004-06-24 13:13:00 yes it can be changed.....


i think the setting you need is NOT in office but in wondos itself, go to controll panel and have a look at regonal settings......
