Any way to tell PS7 to make the rulers’ "0" point to be elsewhere than coordinates 0,0?

In other words, I’d like the 0 mark on the x coordinates to be 100 pixels into the image I’m working on, so that the ruler begins at -100, then -50, then 0, then 50, etc.

Can PS7 do this?

Put your cursor/arrow into the 0,0 corner and drag it where you want it.

See the little box on the top left hand corner? It has two small crossed dotted lines in it.
Drag from that box to where you want your 0,0 coordinates.
Double click on it and they are back to zero, I mean the upper left corner.

That just creates guides. 🙁

Ignore that, I finally got it to work. Thanks! (pretty tricky hitting the sweet spot without creating guides when you’re at 1920×1440)

Peter is correct, try it again, put your cursor in the little box and drag it on to your image while watching the co-ordinates. Make sure that you are dragging from the little box, not the ruler borders.
