Resetting Ruler Axis

      I’m not sure what it’s called really, but when I click a content box, X & Y on the top bar used to show the distance from the top left corner of the box to the top left corner of the page. Now (possibly with the new update) it is showing the distance from the bottom right corner of the page. How can I switch this back? Thanks!

      If you double-click the little square where the two rulers come together (upper-left corner of the document window) does it reset the 0,0 point back to top left?

      It doesn’t change. The far left and top of my paper start at 0. That part is good. Above that though, where the X and & display, the numbers are much higher. For example, I use the “Y” to set the top of my page. I typically start each box at .6″ on the Y field. That isn’t working now. .6 takes it way above the top of the page.

        At the far left of your menu bar/tool bar there will be an icon that looks like 9 small squares grouped together. Normally the top left will be black as it’s been checked. Look to see if the bottom right is black/checked (or another) instead. If it’s not the top left, then click on the top right square.

        Depends upon which is clicked will determine where the measurement starts.

      That was the problem. The bottom right was checked. Thanks so much!

        ^^You are very welcome. I had the same exact same problem years ago–for some reason that other box was checked. I was about ready to tear my hair out before I figured it out.
