Changing InDesign CS2 Default Preferences?

AndrewSipe

I’m frustrated. Every time I open a new document in InDesign, all the units revert to Picas. I don’t use Picas (maybe someday, but doubtful). Does anyone know how to reset the default document so I can change the units to inches instead?

Also, while I’m at it, I might as well change some other preferences. Anyone want to make a suggestion on other things I should probably change, maybe the baseline grid and increments.

Change the preferences without a document open.
That should make the changes global.

Thanks, that worked great. The frustration is easing off now.
