I have to confess that I still measure layout with inches. Sorry. I know professionals use points, and I tried it a couple times, but I get confused quickly and go back to inches,

So now I'm starting a new big project. Maybe, I should try once more doing it in points. Does anyone have any suggestions on how someone gets used to working with points, after so many years of thinking in inches?? Or someone might reassure me that for easy stuff it really doesn't matter, and I can keep my mind on other things. But, if it would look better even a little bit...
