We include the ruler in the 2003 Vord

In the "Word" lineup included in different ways, depending on the version of the program. Now we will consider the most famous and still popular - the 2003 version. Many have become so used to it that they still do not want to switch from it to a later version. And someone uses it because the computer's power does not allow you to install a newer one. But anyway, the tool, about the use of which will be discussed in this article, is present in this version. So, how to include the ruler in the "Word"?

It is quite easy to do this. You just need to click on the "View" from the top of the toolbar . A context menu will open, in which you will need to check next to the "Ruler". After you do this, you will have one more element of the interface - a ruler.

We include the ruler in the latest versions of the "Word"

On later versions of the program in the "Word" the lineup can be included in almost the same way, but there are some differences.

First you need to go to the "View" tab. Only here the context menu does not open, just the program's ribbon will change. In this tape, find the area that is called "Show." In it there are three fields for a tick, you need to put it where it says "Ruler".

The second way to include a ruler

So, we have already figured out how to include the ruler in the program "Vord". But, of course, this is not the only way. Moreover, it is quite expensive in time, which can not be said about the one that will be given now. However, it is worth noting that it can not be used in all versions of the program. For example, in the "Word" 2007 it can be applied, but in the new version of 2016 - no.

The bottom line is simple: you need to click the corresponding icon, which is located above the page scroll slider vertically. The icon itself and its exact location can be seen in the picture.

Clicking it, you turn on the ruler.

What can a ruler do?

Of course, the article would not disclose the topic, if it had not been told about the functions of the ruler itself. After all, it's silly to add to the program a tool that only measures the page size vertically and horizontally. Now we will analyze in great detail all the features of the line and its application.

Indent

In the "Word" lineup can be applied in different ways. You can use it to measure the page, but it's not necessary, because the standards are always the same. Now we will analyze two main applications of the ruler, and start with indentation.

In order to indent or paragraph, or, as it is also called, the "red line", you need to use the slider on the ruler. This slider is on the left side of the horizontal ruler. It is located at the very top.

To make a paragraph, you just need to pull this slider to the right side. Note, if you want to indent all paragraphs of the text, you must first select it.

Make a ledge

The second function of the ruler is the projection. It shifts all lines of the paragraph except the first. To do this, you need to use the slider, which is located in the middle.

The essence is the same as with indentation. You must first select the text that you want to convert, and then change the location of the slider.

As for the other sliders, everything is simple there. The lowest one serves to fix the distance between the middle and upper sliders, move them to the left or to the right. And the slider on the right is necessary to change the size of the text lines themselves. But it's best to change their position on their own to find out everything in practice.
