Default Can I scale the ruler in 10ths

I want to scale the ruler in WORD in 10ths of an inch instead of 8ths. Is
this possible.

AFAIK, the answer is no - at least not without some code. In
ToolsPreferencesGeneral you can select the Measurement System of your
choice but not change the default graduation method.

If it will help, you can hold the Alt key while dragging on the Ruler to set
your Tabs, Margins & Indents, but the Ruler reverts to its default when you
release the Alt key.

Give this a try: In the drawing toolbar, in the draw tab, select grid and set
the spacing to .1, select "snap objects to grid". This will not change the
ruler but the various tab elements will move in .1 increments.
