Business Computing Tips

This is the second section on View. The first can be read at view.
The next item in the VIEW list of commands is Ruler. Rulers allow you to
change your margins and tabs easily by clicking, holding and dragging the
markers. The pale thin line at the edges of the rules are the margins, the
little triangle on the right and the small square on the left are the indents
or tabs.
The triangles on the left are the first line indent (or how far do you want
the first line of every paragraph to go in before the typing starts) and below
that, the hanging indent, (do you want that whole paragraph to be set in from
the margin).
The main trick for dealing with indents is to remember to highlight all the
area you wish to effect before changing the indents, or it will only change
that one paragraph. Remember, to select the whole document, type Ctrl A or
clicking EDIT=> SELECT ALL.
Next is Document Map. Clicking on this brings up a side panel where all the
headings of your document are listed. You can then click on the headings in
this sidebar to go straight to that part of the document. It is like having
automatic bookmarks.
The next Ktips will cover the rest of VIEW commands such as Headers and
Footers and Zoom.
