How to View Microsoft Word Rulers and Margins

In the previous post, I have discussed how to open a Microsoft Word worksheet. In this post, I will share tutorials on how to display the Ruler (Ruler Options) and Margins (Word Worksheet Border) by default this option must be activated manually.

A ruler is an option that displays the size of a page in cm or inches which is displayed on the top and left edges of a word work page. It functions to adjust or align objects in a word worksheet, be it text, images, tables, and so on to make it more structured and look neat

Margin is the border of the Word worksheet page in the form of dotted dots that form a square following the width of the word working page serves as a guide to the boundaries of the typing area with the paper border.

Because the Ruler and Margin Options are not automatically displayed, some people can activate the Ruler, and Margin Options is not easy, especially for beginners who are still in the learning stage. A little additional information, in this tutorial I use Microsoft Word 2019 with the Windows 11 Computer Operating system
