Click to expand/collapse this hidden textTo switch mouse units

The position of the mouse is shown in the status bar. This is measured from the top-left corner of the page. (If you have scrolled the page, or chosen to view only a printed area of the page, this might not be the top-left corner of the window!)

The units in which the mouse coordinates are normally shown is defined in the Viewing page of the 'Configuration' dialog: see Configuring the view. To switch to using different units just for the current session, choose Mouse Coordinates from the 'View' menu then select one of these options:
1/300" (300 dpi)
1/600" (600 dpi)
1/720" (decipoints)
Inches
Cm
just as you would if you had changed the units in the Configuration dialog then selected OK (rather than Save).

Note

When printing extends beyond the edge of the page, an amber warning triangle appears on the toolbar. This may be clicked to access the Errors page of the Document Information window directly.
