USING INCOPY CS4 41 Working with InCopy documents The default unit of measure for the rulers is picas (a pica equals 12 points). You can change the ruler units and control where the major tick marks appear on a ruler. For example, if you change the ruler unit for the vertical ruler to 12 points, a major ruler increment appears every 12 points (if such a display is possible in the current magnification). The tick mark labels include your customized major tick marks, so when the ruler reads 3 in the same example, it marks the third instance of the 12-point increment, or 36 points. Vertical ruler using inches (left), and custom 12-point increments (right) Setting custom ruler increments in the vertical ruler is useful for lining up a ruler's major tick marks with a baseline grid. Specify the measurement units You can set custom 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. 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Units & Increments (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Units & Increments (Mac OS). 2 For Horizontal and Vertical, choose the measurement system you want to use for horizontal and vertical dimensions in rulers, dialog boxes, and panels; choose Custom, and type the number of points at which you want the ruler to display major tick marks. Click OK. You can also change ruler units by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac OS) a ruler, and choosing the units from the context menu. Override default measurement units You can specify a unit of measurement that is different from the default. ❖ Highlight the existing value in a panel or dialog box, and type the new value using the notation in the following table: To specify: Inches Millimeters Centimeters Picas Points Type these letters after the value: i in inch " mm cm p pt p (before value) Examples 5.25i 5.25in 5.25inch 5.25" 48mm 12cm 3p 6pt p6 Result 5 1/4 inches 48 millimeters 12 centimeters 3 picas 6 points Updated 29 April 2009

USING INCOPY CS4

Working with InCopy documents

The default unit of measure for the rulers is picas (a pica equals 12 points). You can change the ruler units and control

where the major tick marks appear on a ruler. For example, if you change the ruler unit for the vertical ruler to 12

points, a major ruler increment appears every 12 points (if such a display is possible in the

current magnification). The

tick mark labels include your customized major tick marks, so when the ruler reads 3 in the same example, it marks

the third instance of the 12-point increment, or 36 points.

Vertical ruler using inches (left), and custom 12-point increments (right)

Setting custom ruler increments in the vertical ruler is useful for lining up a ruler’s major tick marks with a baseline

grid.

Specify the measurement units

You can set custom 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.

Choose Edit

> Preferences

> Units & Increments (Windows) or InCopy

> Preferences

> Units & Increments

(Mac

OS).

For Horizontal and Vertical, choose the measurement system you want to use for horizontal and vertical

dimensions in rulers, dialog boxes, and panels; choose Custom, and type the number of points at which you want

the ruler to display major tick marks. Click

OK.

You can also change ruler units by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac

OS) a ruler, and choosing the

units from the

context menu.

Override default measurement units

You can specify a unit of measurement that is different from the default.
