Hello,
I bought Office and I'm stuck on a vertical ruler issue in Word; I can see the ruler but not the adjustment marker. I followed the procedure outlined in the help section but nothing changes, I’ve requested assistance from Microsoft but I’ve been waiting a long time for a reply. If anyone has any idea, I would appreciate it.
Thanks

    Hello,

    We don't know what you mean by "adjustment stop"...
    On the horizontal rule, we can place stops, but I don't quite see how it works on the vertical rule...

    As for the procedure outlined in the help, what are you talking about?

    Hello bgko.
    • There is no stop in the vertical rule, as there is no vertical tabulation.
    • There is no procedure in the Help for a tool that does not exist. You must be confused.
    • An individual has very little chance of getting a direct response from Microsoft.

    M@arina Raymond thank you
    To better understand my issue, I'm attaching 2 screenshots:
    _ one from Office purchased on my desktop
    _ one from LibreOffice loaded on my laptop,
    in LibreOffice I have the ruler with the vertical adjustment tab while in Office I have the ruler but no tab and when I open a new page I don't even have a margin at the top of the page despite a configuration requiring a 25mm margin. The only solution is to go down with the "enter" key
    there's my issue, not serious but bothersome
    if you have any ideas I would be very interested
    Thank you

    Hello,

    It seems there is a vocabulary issue. What we call a "taquet" is this:
    The "taquet" only concerns the horizontal ruler.

    To adjust the top margin, which in your case is set to zero, move the mouse cursor to the top of the ruler. It will change into a two-headed arrow to adjust the margin.
    You can also go to Layout > Margins to set your margins, either with the predefined values or with custom values.
