Inkscape - very basic

[barb.j.enders]

Well,  I am joining the group of "newbie inkscaper".  I have done some work in it before but my computer was very slow.  Hubby got me a new computer so I no longer have that excuse.  My first question, because Yes, there will be lots of those, is Can the default page set up be changed and saved?  Example, when I open a new document, the page is set to A4 and px.  I would like to change it to letter & inches.  Travis doesn't really mention that in his lessons and I also didn't see it in the Inkscape tutorials.

Open any document and go to document properties.

Change size and to px  Mine is inches. 

I think that holds for all documents till you change it.  If not let me know.

Don's pretty close.

You must save the changes to a document for the changes to become the new default.

From the top menu bar: File > document properties > front page > letter + inches ( pull down menu); then directly to the right:display > inches ( pull down menu )

At this point you can choose the orientation of the page.

Now you need to save the changes to your document ( close the document and follow the prompts ), When you open a new document the changes should be in place.

I'm using version 1.2.2 so if your version is different it might be a little different in the details.
