I'm suprised to find that my window and door schedules calculate glazing area in square meters, rather than square feet. In my preferences, calculation units are all English ft/in. How can I convert the schedule to square feet?

Yes, the area units are in sq ft. Everything under "Calculation Units" are set to English ft and in. Even under "Dimensions" and "Working Units", they are all set to English ft and in.
Mysterious, eh? What else could it be?

Also, did you hand check the numbers: is it possible that the result is indeed square feet, but the legend is printing as square meters?
Thanks,

Yes, I'm using AC 7.0 (student version) running under Window XP, but I started to file under Windows 98. I'm creating the schedule using "window schedule settings" under Calculate. Is there another way?
I did check the calculations and it is definately outputting square meters.
I hope that helps you help me--and thanks.
