I think it would be a great idea if Word displayed two horizontal rulers, one
above the other. The topmost one would show absolute page measurements from
the left margin of the page, while the lower one would show relative
measurements relative to the left margin of the current paragraph. I for one
would find this extremely useful as the current ruler only show measurements
relative to the current paragraph margin and I very often need to know where
I am relative to the page margin.
