Measurement Units in PowerPoint

Unlike Word and Excel, in which users can set the units of measurement within the application, PPT uses the default measurement units as set in the user’s operating system. To avoid requiring students to change measurement units in their OS (which would affect other applications), we have provided the metric equivalents for all the measurements specified in the PPT exercises.
