    I recently installed Word 2003 on my computer, and it installed as Canadian English because of the language pack I had on my computer (or at least, that's how I believe it chose to "go Canadian" on me :p). Now, however, the margins are in metric! STUPID METRIC! Why would this even be a FEATURE of the Canadian installation?! Paper is still manufactured in inch measurements! WTF.

    Enough ranting. You guys at NBR know everything... I wonder if that includes changing the margin labels in Word 2003 from metric to imperial!

    Thanks everyone.
