Displaying a Vertical Ruler

Changing the Unit of Measurement

You can change the unit of measurement shown on the ruler by right-clicking the ruler. However, this doesn't change the unit of measurement shown in formatting and other windows throughout Writer. To change the overall Writer unit of measurement:

  1. Choose Tools > Options > Text Document > General.

  2. Change the unit of measurement in the Meas. units field, and Click OK.
