Default
If you want the ruler to display in points, go to Word Options|Advanced > Display and choose 'Points' from the 'Show measurements in units of' dropdown. However, this shouldn't be necessary as you can use Word's CentimetersToPoints function so that you can work in centimeters. For example, for the textbox you might use:
.Top = CentimetersToPoints(2)
and Word will interptret this as a 2cm offset. All very simple. There is also an InchesToPoints function.
