I'm aware I don't choose the same system for all my frames, but I think I understand how that works.
However: - the up rule shows the 0 at the inner side of the right page, even if I'm currently on a left page, - the left rule has its 0 somewhere in the middle of the document (84 pages), whichever page I'm working on - for any frame of the document, X and Y coordinates seem to be in accordance with these rules; the Y-Pos value can go from -5000 pt to +5000 pt and more, values that cannot mean anything for me, especially when I think of these values inside the current page. There might be some setting I have overlooked somewhere ... Marie-No?lle -- Une galerie photos, un blog ... pourquoi pas ?
