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?

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.
