I'm following the step-by-step guides to setting up a new document, but when it comes to setting the presets for my new book project, all the measurements show in pixels. I've gone back to InDesign > Preferences > Units & Increments and changed everything to inches, but the Margins & Rulers and Presets still show in pixels. How can I fix this?
You can change the defaults for all new documents by closing all files and then defining the new default in InDesign > Preferences > Units & Increments. For existing documents, just right click each of the two rulers.

And best to keep dimensions in inches or mm and type sizes and leading in points.
