 When the rulers are visible in the WYSIWYG window (after either selecting 'Show Ruler' in the 'View' menu or pressing Ctrl+L), right-click on either ruler then select the units to use:

 Changing the ruler units also changes the units of the page size indication that is shown in the status bar at the bottom of the GUI.

 hides the rulers.
