Set up scaling and rulers

You can build a framework of grids, guides, and rulers to position and align text and objects precisely.

Do any of the following:

	To view or hide the grid, choose View > Grid.
	To view or hide rulers, choose View > Rulers.
	To view or hide guides, choose View > Guides.

To change the page measurement units, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) on the vertical or horizontal ruler, and choose the measurement system you want to use, such as points, picas, millimeters, centimeters, or inches.

To create a guide, position the pointer inside a horizontal or vertical ruler, and then drag to the desired location on the document.
