Since page dimensions are usually specified in inches, you used inches to specify the trim
size of the bulletin. But most designers specify elements within pages in picas and
points. Sahafi makes it easy for you to work in a number of different units of measure. You
can even work with different units for horizontal and vertical measurements.
-
Choose Preferences/General from
the Document menu. The General Preferences dialog box appears. It presents many options
for how you prefer to work in Sahafi. Sahafi's preset horizontal and vertical units - inches -
are displayed. In Sahafi, as in many Mac applications, an option displayed in a shadowed
rectangle indicates that when you press it with the pointer, a list of other options
appears.
-
Press the current Horizontal
Units, Inches, and hold down the mouse button. A list of other units appears.
-
Drag the pointer onto Picas and
then release the mouse button. The Horizontal Units change to Picas in the dialog box.
-
Press the current Vertical Units
and choose Picas in the same way. The Vertical Units change to Picas.
-
Click OK. The dialog box
disappears, and the rulers in the document window now measure picas and points, instead of
inches.
