Microsoft Word ALT Tip

While using the mouse to adjust tabs, indents, columns and margins on the ruler, try holding down the Alt key. Holding down the Alt key displays the ruler and the changing distances between settings as you move the marker. This is handy for precise placement of your work upon the page.
