Hello:
I'd like to change the units used for things like Tabs and Margins from inches to cm or mm. Could someone recommend how to do this? I assume that switching from American to British English in the language settings would change the units from Imperial to Metric, but I do not really want a British English keyboard.
Many thanks,

Hi pcworth,
I'm not seeing how to change one without changing the other. Changing the Region Format to "United Kingdom" changes the units to cm and changes the keyboard so I get the "£" symbol instead of the "$" symbol, even when the "English" rather than the "English (UK)" keyboard is selected.
Note, even with the apparent "UK" keyboard layout, I can still get to the $ by holding on the £ until the alternate symbols come up. This is similar to getting the £ if the default is $. Yes, it's a little slower but does work.
So it seems to be a question of which is more important? Metric rulers or US (default) symbols. At least with it set for UK you can still get to the US symbols.

You could change your settings to Canada. However, this would change miles to kilometres in Maps.
I would like to have inches in Pages and kilometres in Maps. Anyone know how to do this?
