To change the placement of the ruler origin

1. Make sure that rulers are displayed. On the View menu, click Rulers, and then click Show Rulers, if necessary.

2. Point to the button at the intersection of the two rulers and press and hold the left mouse button.

3. Drag the mouse pointer to the desired position.

4. Release the mouse button. The zero point on each ruler changes to reflect the new placement.

If you have selected Snap to Rulers on the Tools menu, the new ruler origin also snaps to the rulers. This ensures that your grid remains the same. If you have deselected Snap to Rulers, the new ruler origin is placed at the exact point where you place it. You can quickly reset the ruler origin to its default position at the corner of the page by double-clicking the button at the intersection of the two rulers.
