What is the Ruler ?

 
 

The ruler is extremely important as it displays all your tabs and indentation settings for the active paragraph.

 
 

The ruler is also useful when you are working with other objects and can help you to align objects correctly.

 
 

You can display the ruler by selecting (View > Ruler). This is a toggle.

 
 

This can help you to position your objects as well as displaying tabs and paragraph indents.

 
 

It is possible to display both a horizontal and vertical ruler in the Slide Pane of the Normal view and the Notes Page view.
