Editing Scale Bar - Is it possible to add Feet marks to numbers associated with bar?

Question

I'd like to have Feet marks on the numbers that are associated with the divisions on the scale bar.
Is this possible? How do I add them?

Thanks,
Tracey

A scale bar is a compilation (group) of graphic elements.  If you select the scale bar and then select ungroup in the drawing menu,  you can hack and whack on it till the cows come home.  When you're done, select all the elements and group them back together.

This is good to know.  After some experimenting it only seems to work on scale bars that have been converted to graphics, and therefore are no longer dynamic.  Depending on the task this may or may not be a problem.
