MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / July 2005Defining and changing the current used measurement unit
Hi! How can I use VBA to find and change Word's current used measurement unit, e.g. Lines, Points, Centimeters etc.? I'm asking that because I'm having difficulties using VBA functions because I don't know which measurement unit will be used in the user's computer and I can't predict that. Thank you! You can read and set it using application.Options.MeasurementUnit; but you don't need this for VBA. Internally, most sizes are in points (whatever units of measurement the user might have selected). Fortunately, VBA provides the conversion functions also -- Object.Width = MillimetersToPoints(25) etc > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thank you! Hi, Is there anyway I can know in advance what measurement unit is used internally? Can I assume it's always point? If it's internally points in my computer will it be points in my friend's computer?

Lookup all methods in the VBA help file that handle size and position, They all tell you that they work in points, This is what Jezebel wrote.
