In the article we will talk about how to use the ruler in the "Word". We will tell you how to enable it on different versions of the program, about the functions of this tool, and also in detail we will discuss its purpose.

We include the ruler in the 2003 Vord

First of all, we will consider how to include the ruler in the 2003 Ward . Although this version is considered the oldest, it does not in any way affect its popularity. This version still enjoys a lot of people. Some out of habit. Others are due to insufficient computer power.

But anyway, an indispensable tool in this program is present. And how we make the ruler visible in the Vord, we'll talk now.

Everything is done simply. Initially click on the "View", which is located at the top, - the menu will appear. In it, you need to tick off the line "Ruler". After that, the tool with the same name will appear in the program interface.

We include the ruler in the later versions of the program

In a similar way, you can include a ruler in the "Vord" of the later version. Only it will not be in the context menu. You initially need to go to the "View" tab, and already in it to find the "Show" area. Here you should tick the "Ruler" icon. After that, it will appear in the program.

The second way to include a ruler

In addition to the presented method, the ruler in the "Word" can be included differently. By the way, the method that will now be presented is the most convenient. With its help you can call the ruler in a matter of seconds.

So, you need to click the desired icon, which is responsible for displaying the ruler. It is located above the vertical scrolling slider. For a better understanding, look at the picture below.

However, it should be noted that this way you can not include the ruler in all versions of the program. For example, in the "Vord" in 2007 - you can do it, but already in 2016 - no.

Ruler functions

So you found out where the "Vord" ruler and how to turn it on. This tool, of course, is a far-reaching, useful tool for the program. It serves for quick page layout. It is designed for indentation and protrusion. And also with the help of the right slider, you can specify an indent to the right, but about everything in order.

Upper slider

We will disassemble the ruler in the "Word", which is on top, namely horizontal. It has three sliders on the left. Let's talk about all individually, starting with the top.

The upper slider is needed to indent the first line of the paragraph from the left edge of the sheet. It is quite easy to do this. You initially need to select those paragraphs in which the indents will be produced. After that, move the slider to the distance you need.

Medium slider

Go to the next slider - the middle one. Its task is to make paragraph indentations. Moving the middle slider, all the lines in the paragraph, except the first, will be shifted by the indicated distance.

It is recommended to move this slider independently in order to become familiar with its function visually.

Lower slider

And, finally, it is necessary to say about the third element in this series - about the bottom slider. By itself, it does not affect the formatting of the text. He is unable to move it to the left or to the right. But it affects the upper and middle slider. How? Now we will tell everything.

The fact is that along with the upper slider, the middle and upper ones move. This happens at a fixed distance. This is very convenient if you want to increase the indentation of all text from the left edge, while not disrupting the location of the other sliders /
