Default How do I change margin settings from points to inches?

My margins changed from inches to points and I do not see any way to change
them back. I could not find information about this in the help files.

In Word 2007, you go to "Word Options," "Advanced," "Display" and you will
find a drop down box to change the measurement to four different options--of
which inches is one.

Tools | Options | General: Measurement units. If you find that this is
already set to inches, see http://www.gmayor.com/Character_Units.htm
