About rulers and measurement units
You can change measurement units for the on-screen rulers and for use in panels and dialog boxes; you can also
change these settings at any time and temporarily override the current measurement units as you enter a value. By
default, rulers begin measuring from the upper-left corner of a page or spread. You can change this by moving the
zero point.
Changing the measurement units doesn’t move guides, grids, and objects, so when ruler tick marks change, they
might not line up with objects aligned to the old tick marks.
Rulers in a document window
A. Labeled tick marks B. Major tick marks C. Minor tick marks
You can set up different measurement systems for horizontal and vertical rulers. The system you select for the
horizontal ruler governs tabs, margins, indents, and other measurements. Each spread has its own vertical ruler;
however, all vertical rulers use the same settings you specify in the Units & Increments preferences dialog box.
