Quicker way to switch ruler units in the document window

When working on an image, sometimes you need to change the ruler units from their current setting to something more appropriate to help you create or line up an element. Fortunately,you don’t need to make a trip to the Preferences dialog box each time you want to make a change. You can do it from much closer:right inside the document window, in fact. Just right-click(Windows), Ctrl-click (Mac OS) the rulers and, from the contextual menu,choose an item(Figure 2-5). Save your energy for something more strenuous—such as making that third cup ofcoffee of the morning!

Just for the sake of completeness, you can also change the ruler units by double-clicking the rulers to call up the Preferences dialog box; or,in the Info palette,you can click the cross icon in the mouse coordinates section and select an item from the pop-up menu (Figure 2-6).
