How can I change the margin parameters of the vertical ruler?
In Microsoft Word, I seem to have lost the ability to edit the margin
settings of my vertical ruler on the left side of the screen. In the "print" view, when I open up a new document, there is no blue "buffer" at the top of the ruler on the left. Generally, I'd like the ability to start off a document with about an inch margin at the top--somehow I seem to have lost this capability! My old documents open up just fine--with the margin and vertical ruler as it should be--but my new ones all start out with no top margin. I don't even have the option of the double-ended arrow to try and shift the ruler around. How do I get this option back?? Help! I need to write my statement of purpose for grad school, and I'm feeling completely out-of-sorts without my margins! |
