Question
When I first go to set up my page, in the width and height it has
things like 51p0 or 66p0...what does this mean? Can't I just change
it to inches?  Also, I can't find my colors.  I open the color pallette
and it just has the grayscale thing.  Thanks soo much for the hel.


Answer
go to file, preferences, units and increments and change to inches.  p0 is the measurement for pixels. Every inch is 6 pixels ;)

for colors, go to window, swatches.  Color is no longer a term in your graphic vocabulary.  It's a swatch :)
