My problem was slightly different: I got to this subject because, one day,
the print display stopped showing the white margin at the top. To fix this:
I went to the Word button. I clicked the Word Options button. I chose
Advanced, then Display, and in the Page Display Option section, a selected
Show white space between pages in Print Layout view. That fixed my problem.

No, the ruler origin cannot be set in Word as it can in Publisher and other
page layout programs. That is due to the differences between word processing
and page layout functions.

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?

It does begin at zero - at the left margin position! If you mean can you

the left margin at the edge of the paper, then the likely answer is no.
Very
few printer drivers allow printing to the edge of the page and Word will
only set what the driver will permit.
