How to change Microsoft Word Grids to draw scaled size box?

During my high school years in Philippines where computer was only for businesses and people who can afford it drawing a single box was very simple using a 12" ruler. But when projects require creating an 8 dozens of 1/2" squared box and equally spaced top and bottom of 1" that's a little tough and time consuming (actually box is not really the point of the project, it will be used for pasting some cut-out pictures). For students where their family able to afford this magnificent computer during my high school days it was truly fast, neat and efficient way of producing more than 8 dozens of boxes.

So let's talk about how to create boxes with correct size in Microsoft Word. My approach is very simple and easy to follow and in memorizing steps that i have provided below. Enjoy it!
