------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 21 16:24:06 +0000 2007 ------- It's my understanding that the current ruler implementation is intended to mimic recent Microsoft products. At present (in 2.0.2), the zero point of the ruler begins at the left margin, and points before it are measured negatively. This behavior does not hold for the right margin, where the ruler continues normally with no re-zeroing. ... This behavior can be unfamiliar and inconsistent to some users, especially those required to pay close attention to page widths and margins. In particular, it can be visually difficult to distinguish the default 0.79" margin from a 1" margin when using the 'negative' ruler; both are 'within' one inch. Eyeballing page lengths and margins on the vertical ruler can be equally confusing, especially when dealing with a mix of 11" and 14" documents. An option to use static rulers (zero point at zero point of page, both margins marked without re-zeroing as the right margin now is) would be much appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
