Hi everyone. In this video,
before we get started making this lovely flyer,
we need to adjust our measurements.
By default, often a design comes with a measurement of picas.
It just means that whenever this [inaudible] box on top here,
its in millimeters, yours might be set to picas.
When I make a rectangle,
all the measurements is set to that,
or if you just switching from imperial to metric.
Let's go and change it. On a Mac,
it's under InDesign CC.
Hit down here to preferences and then down two units and increments.
If you're on a PC, it's similar, its under Edit,
then preferences is down here,
and it will have units and increments.
On a Mac CRM,
and all you need to do here is we're going to change our horizontal.
It might be on picas,
and we're going to switch it to millimeters.
Or we're going to do this course in inches.
Just because most of the people watching my videos are American based,
but you can switch it to millimeters.
I'll show you a cool trick while you're working to interchange between the two.
The other thing we might do here is if you go from millimeters to inches,
you might want to change the default dictionary as well.
Down here where it says Dictionary,
I'll just make sure you're on the most relevant dictionary.
I'm on English USA,
you might have to switch yours to the one just up,
which is UK English or Chinese.
Whatever your dictionary is, let's click Okay.
You can see up here that little box that I showed you earlier is now in inches.
When I try and draw a rectangle,
it comes up in inches.
Quick, easy, short video.
Let's go off and stop making this flyer from scratch.
