Changing the default display units
Display the options dialog box. If necessary, click the units tab.
Font units are used for
text sizes.
Page units are used for
other measurements.
Creating a new unit
You may want to specify measurements in units not provided as standard. For
example, racecourses are measured in furlongs (220 yards). Or a financial diagram
may use US$.
Display the
OPTIONS dialog box. If necessary, click the UNITS tab.
1. Click NEW UNIT. The unit properties window will appear:
2. Type in the unit name (e.g. US dollars). This name appears in menus.
3. Type in the ABBREVIATION ($). This is used when entering or displaying the
units.
4. Select PREFIX ($ 12.34) or SUFFIX (12.34 $ ) as appropriate. Page & Layout
Designer must be able to relate the new unit to an existing unit. Type the
relationship into the "
IS EQUIVALENT TO" field. For example, if you had used
furlongs, then 1 furlong is equivalent to 220 yards.
For units that do not relate to distance (for example US$), type in an appropriate
scaling factor. For example, 10US$ as equivalent to 10 millimeters.
Deleting a unit
You can only delete a unit you have created, not a standard unit.
Display the
OPTIONS dialog box. If necessary, click the UNITS tab.
