Would it help to have a spreadsheet that lets you plug in the value you
have, and it shows all other units of measure from it?

10 micro watts per square meter
does equal 0.001 micro watts per square centimeter
(remove the first extra decimal point)
it is a factor of 5, or 10000 between square centimeters and meters
Personally, I don't find the cm2 unit to be very readable, and it
doesn't give "big" numbers until you're so close to the transmitter to
scream.
Apparently some engineers like to use it, so some kind of conversion has
to be provided.

no. I think you dropped the wrong extra decimal point. But without the
units for the 0.0001 it is hard to answer with certainty.
but if you were to compare 0.010 milli watts and 10 micro watts (per
same square unit) they would be the same and equal.
Hope that helps,
