We have encountereed a strange problem with two of the Macs at the Weizmann
Institute when running WORD4.  One is a Classic and the other an SE30, both
System 6.07.  When the ruler is displayed it shows only six inches, instead
of the almost seven that shows on other machines.  These "inches", when
measured, indeed are greater than real inches.  One of these machines also
has a Hebrew language system on it, and the ruler is fine when I open Word
in that system, but when I boot from a floppy with a vanilla system there
is the same problem.

I tried opening WORD from a floppy, and the same thing happens.  (The floppy
works fine on other Macs.)  Even stranger, if I import a WORD file from
another Mac the ruler for that file remains correct.  I tried replacing and
deleting the Word Setting file, but that didn't change things.

Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.
