You cannot drag the Hanging Indent marker without bringing the Left Indent
marker with it. The hanging indent actually sets the left indent, with the result that you have (in effect) a negative first-line indent. If you drag just the Left Indent portion, it will bring along both the Handing Indent and the First-Line Indent markers. -- Suzanne S.

In 2007 you can move the bottom square to move both the margin mark
and indent/outdent mark, or you can move the up-pointing lower triangle to move just the margin but not the 'dent. And of course as in 2003 you can move the down-pointing upper triangle to move the first line's starting point. On Apr 18, 9:06*pm, "Suzanne S.

The ruler works exactly the same in Word 2007 as in previous versions.
Moving any of the indent markers does not change the page margins. Only when you place the mouse pointer between the triangles (getting a double-headed arrow instead of a popup that describes the indent) can you change the actual margin. Aside from that, it works exactly as I described: the First-Line Indent moves singly; the Hanging Indent drags the Left Indent with it, and the Left Indent moves all three. -- Suzanne S.

How do page margins come into the question?
I was never able to move the lower triangle independently from the box in 2003. When you move the lower triangle, the upper triangle doesn't move. When you move the box, both the lower triangle and the upper triangle move. On Apr 19, 12:18*am, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The ruler works exactly the same in Word 2007 as in previous versions.

You are the one who brought up "margins," which are not the same thing as
indents. In 2007 you can move the bottom square to move both the margin mark and indent/outdent mark, or you can move the up-pointing lower triangle to move just the margin but not the 'dent. Everything you say is still just confirming what I said originally: moving the Hanging Indent marker ("lower triangle") also moves the Left Indent marker ("box"). Moving the box moves both triangles, but this is still not a "margin"; it is a left indent; the page margin remains unchanged. And none of this behavior is changed from earlier versions. I note that http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingRulers.htm uses the word "margin" imprecisely, so any misconception is at least partly my (or Dave Rado's) fault. -- Suzanne S.

I never think about the "page margins"! The margin of a text is where
the type goes to. I've never encountered those labels for the triangles and box. On Apr 19, 10:33*am, "Suzanne S.

If you hover your mouse over the markers (assuming you have "Show ScreenTips
on toolbars" enabled), those are the labels you will see. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "grammatim" wrote in message ...
