I would like to know how to change the units of measurement in the rulers in a FrameMaker 9 document (Windows XP). I tried View > Options to open the dialog box but the changes I make there don’t seem to have any effect. I have been familiar w/FrameMaker for several years but I’m just starting to use this version. I know it’s something simple—please advise. Thanks--

I just tried the view/options and it worked for me. Do you have rulers checked? I changed mine from inches to picas and it changed the ruler. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you.

Well, I tried it in FM7 and it worked so I tried it again in FM9 and it worked! Not sure what I did differently other than fool around w/the display values, but that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for your help--

What exactly are you setting?

Units: Display Units:

doesn't affect the rulers.

Snap: Grid Spacing:

doesn't affect the rulers.

Display:

Rulers [pull down choice]

does affect the rulers.

Works fine in FM7.1/Unix.

I just wish Photoshop and Illustrator had the 1/10th inch option.
