I use inches, but I have used cm when I needed to create a drawing that used a scale of say 1 cm per foot or some other thing that was large and needed to fit on a letter size paper, like a building 's network layout to scale. Try making a building the size of a football field

Hi :) I have cm in the ruler but seldom take much notice of what it's in.  I just shift tab-stops and things until they look about right rather than having a strictly regimented thing.  Same if i'm adjusting margins.  I just shift it until it looks about right.  Regards from Tom :)
