Default units in InDesign

[jdeeesign]

This has always bugged me, and it's time to change it for good, but I can't figure it out. How do I set the default units to inches, instead of picas?

I have to change it every time I start a new document, and it gets on my nerves.

This has always bugged me, too. I can't figure out how to make the changes stick for good. :mad:

You have to make the changes in your preferences with no document open.

all that worry, and it was that simple.

you are amazing Kool

Holy stupidity, batman! d'oh

Heh heh, I gained this wise knowledge by typing "default" into the help search. :D

Most applications will let you set the defaults to your liking as long as you don't have an open document (I'm guessing my favorite - Publisher - won't do it...darn).

is there a way of setting the document measurments as cm or mm and the baseline grid measurments as points? - i've found i have to keep swaping throught preferences depending on what i am doing with the page.
