Displaying rulers

Rulers can be displayed on the left and top borders of the page, marked in pixels, inches, or centimeters.

To change ruler settings, do one of the following:

	To toggle rulers on and off, choose View > Rulers > Show.
	To change the origin, drag the ruler-origin icon anywhere on the page. (This icon appears at the upper left corner of the Design view of the Document window when rulers are showing.) To reset the origin to its default position, choose View > Rulers > Reset Origin.
	To change the unit of measure, choose Pixels, Inches, or Centimeters from the View > Rulers submenu.
