How do I make this change?

It certainly changed the tick marks but not the displayed numbers. Zooming in works. Thanks for the response anyway. I appreciate it.

Or increase your display resolution/display size. My MacBook shows each individual inch mark at Fit Page in Window view.

This doesn't work on my HP, but zooming in does. Thanks for the response anyway. I appreciate it.

Hi Joe-New-to-InDesign (love your user name!):

Yes, it's dependent on your display (monitor) size and available resolutions—that's all I was trying to point out. Those of us who do this work for a living end up often end up with 1 (or several) large, high-definition displays because we need the space and detail to see what we are doing.
