How do you change measurement units?

• A. Under Preferences, click Units & Increments, click the Horizontal and Vertical menus
• B. Tools > Measure > Units
• C. Document Setup > Units
• D. View > Units

Answer: (A)

Measurement units in InDesign are set in Preferences, under Units & Increments. Here you choose the Horizontal and Vertical units, and those choices determine how rulers and all measurements—like object sizes, distances, and coordinates—are displayed and entered. This central setting applies to the whole document, and you can tailor horizontal and vertical units separately if your workflow requires different scales (for example, inches horizontally and millimeters vertically). The other menu paths don’t control how measurements are displayed, so they won’t change the units shown on the rulers.
