Word XP - Tab/ruler measurement is "ch". What is "ch"?
Hi Guys
I'm actually an advanced Word user but I'm scratching my head over what seems to be a very basic (but frustrating) issue after recently installing Word XP/2002. :confused:
Note: I'm in Australia so I use metric. If you're using inches, 1.27cm = 1/2 inch. Not that it matters! I've tried in inches too...
Query 1: Tabs. My default tab stops are "3 ch". What the heck is "ch"? I change it to 1.27 cm (like all my other versions of Word at my various work places) but it goes back to 3 ch. (Of course, on the General tab in Tools | Options, my measurements are set to centimeters.) I've never seen "ch" before.
Query 2: Ruler Measurements. As stated above, my default measurement is centimeters. However, the measurements on my ruler bar are the mysterious "ch" again... (I have my default margins set up as 2cm top, 2cm bottom, 2cm left, 2cm right, 1.27cm header and footer and 0cm gutter. My paper size is A4 (21cm x 29.7cm).)
Query 3: Heck, forget query 3. Every single issue comes back to the mysterious measurement of "ch".
Any help / assistance / suggestions will be greatly appreciated! :D
