Default Can horizontal ruler in Word be changed to begin w/ zero?

Great question, Smithy! Like you, we also feel that Microsoft should provide
an option for calibrating the ruler to zero at the left edge of the page.
WordPerfect refers to these two options as absolute margins (left edge of
page) and relative margins (left margin).

WordPerfect has had this feature for many years and it has some distinct
advantages. For example, it allows the user to immediately visualize the
actual width of the paper, the margin widths, and column offsets. It would
be nice if Microsoft would provide a similar feature.

I can see that the ruler within the margin begins with zero. And, I am aware
that most printers will not print a bleed.

What I am trying to find out is whether it is possible to change the ruler
to a realistic view where zero is at the edge of the paper?
