Viewing and Adjusting Rulers

Rulers provide an easy way of making sure that your text and page elements are aligned along common measurements. For Letter templates, rulers also provide an easy method of viewing and adjusting the page margins.

To view your rulers (all templates):

1. Open the Edit Personal Copy screen. How?

   1. From the Main Menu bar, click the Marketing icon.

   2. Click the [Template Type] Library link in the appropriate portlet.

   3. Select a personal category from the Show Category drop-down list.

   4. For presentations, flyers or postcards, hover your mouse over the template, and then click the Edit [Pages/Flyer/Postcards] link.

   Or

   For Letters/Envelopes/Labels, click the name of the template.

To adjust your margins using rulers (Letter templates only):

1. The darker areas at the ends of each ruler show you the margin settings. To adjust a margin, hover your mouse over the edge of a margin area. The pointer will change to a double-ended arrow. Simply click and drag the arrow pointer to change the margin.

2. Adjust your top, bottom, left and right margins to ensure that you don't overlap your headers and footers or place text in unprintable areas.
