Using the ruler

The Corel WordPerfect for Java ruler is a thin ruled bar that appears at the top of the text-editing screen when you choose the Ruler command from the View menu. Like the Common toolbar, the ruler gives you quick access to some of the word processor's most popular formatting commands, including left and right margin settings, column widths, tab settings, and paragraph format.

Left/Right Margins

Side margins are controlled by the margin indicators at the end of the ruler's white area.

Paragraph Format

Paragraph formatting is controlled by the paragraph indicators (triangles) inside the ruler's white area.

Tab Settings

Tab settings are controlled by the tab indicators (triangles) on the bottom of the ruler.
