In reply to (1), yes. In reply to (2), yes to your first answer. But the
bottom margin is rarely consistent; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm

There is no way to drag the ruler per se, but you can get an indication of
where text falls on the horizontal ruler by setting a tab and dragging it
back and forth along the ruler. Drag it off the ruler when you have
established what you want to know. There is no equivalent for the vertical
ruler, but the status bar tells you the vertical position of the insertion
point.

om...
On page setup
I have the header and footer set at .35
I have the top and bottom bottom margins set at .75

Question...

1 - For the footer... does .35 mean from the bottom edge of the paper to
the
bottom of the footer?

2 - For the bottom margin... does .75 mean from the bottom edge of the
paper
to the bottom of the nornal text on the page?

Or does .75 mean the bottom of the normal text is .75 inches above the top
of the footer?

Finally... Is there any way to drag rulers onto the Word screen?

I'm trying to hold a straight edge up to the screen to try and see where
text falls relative to the ruler along the side.

thanks for any help.
