Change width-height property to pixels?

[skinneyfat]

I accidentally switched the dimension display in the properties panel go from pixels to either inches or centimeters. I dropped the keyboard when this happened so I didn't see which buttons were pushed. Can someone please tell me how to make the width and height properties display pixels again please?

Click on the rectangle to select it. Change the values for width and height in the Properties panel. Press Entter.

I don't mean to change the width and height of the recatangle. I want to change the property numbers to display pixels instead of inches. For example... In the poperties panel on the bottom of fireworks. it says the following:

W: ____   X______

H:  ____   Y______

Now the W H X and Y are all displaying inches...(W=1.4 H=2.3). I don't want this. I want the display to be W=400 H=400.

I hope that is clearer. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the web premium software and it still didn't resolve itself

EDIT: Im sorry I forgot I'm in my other account name. I am the orginal poster.

Choose modify > Canvas , Canvas size. Switch from inches to pixels.

Thank you for your help but I found it. The option I was looking for was in the INFO panel. I had to search every single menu item to find it and after 3 hours I finally opened that one. In the drop-down box in the right corner of the panel it gives you a choice of how the colors, and the coordinates of objects are displayed. I don't know how but I must have pushed a shortcut key when I dropped the keyboard to make it show centimeters. I'm surely going to keep that panel open from now on ><.

There is on "modify" on the menu. This is not helpful.

Edit > Preferences > Units & RUlers > Units: Rulers (Pixels). Now at the bottom info bar if you click the > you can select Document Dimensions and see the px X px (### ppi) info at all times.

To change the units in info panel and dock, go to "File > Document Setup... " or press "Alt+Ctrl+P" and change the units to the one you need.
