      Hi, please can someone tell me if it’s possible to set a different unit of measurement for page rulers and type dialogue boxes? If I amend the units for my rulers to mm then all my dialogue boxes also measure in mm.
      I would like my page size rulers to measure in mm but when I set up new paragraph styles etc I’d like the units to be in points.
      Currently, if I type the pt value I need into a measurement field InDesign will automatically convert this to mm, which is kind of okay, but I’d prefer to see the actual pt values without having to change my rulers to pt as well.
      Is this possible?

      No, that’s not possible. It’s a good idea, though! You should see if someone has suggested it at indesign.uservoice.com (or suggest it yourself)
