Rulers

The horizontal and vertical rulers are used for displaying:

•

Page size

•	Current position of the pointer (pink lines indicate the vertical and horizontal position of the pointer).

The rulers use the same units as the grid.

Horizontal ruler in text editing mode

The horizontal ruler is where you control the indents. You must use text editing mode to view the indents. In text editing mode, the horizontal ruler is focused in the section corresponding to the selected text area.

Also with rotated texts, indents and tabulators are only displayed in horizontal ruler.

Indents and tabs

•	First Line Indent – (the upper downwards pointing polygon) Controls the starting position of the first line of a paragraph.

•	Hanging Indent – (the lower upwards pointing polygon) Controls the starting position of all lines in a paragraph except the first line.

•	Left Indent – (the rectangle below the Hanging Indent) Moves the First Line Indent and Hanging Indent together.

•	Right Indent – Controls the ending position of all lines in a paragraph.

•	Left Tab – Controls the position to where the text cursor moves to when pressing Tab key (after passing the left indent).
