This ruler shows the margin settings and tab stops which are in use.

You can change the size of the left and right hand margins directly from this ruler:

  1. Place the pointer over the left or right border that separates the grey and white portions of the ruler - a double-headed horizontal arrow is displayed.

  2. Drag this to set a new margin.

The right and left margins are set separately.

You can also set paragraph and tab settings directly from this ruler. See Paragraph indents and Tab stops.

Note: You can choose not to display the horizontal ruler. To do this, use the Ruler Bars option from the View menu.
