Taking Control of Ruler Units with a Single Click

I opened an InDesign layout that another freelancer had created. When I looked at my Rulers, they were using Picas for the units of measurement. Is there any way to quickly change to Inches without having to go into Preferences?

Sure! Control-click (Right Button-click on PC) with your mouse on the intersection of the two Rulers in the upper left-hand corner of your document window, and select Inches (or Inches Decimal) from the pop-up menu. To change only one Ruler, Control-click (Right Button-click on PC) with your mouse on that particular Ruler.
