When you change from Text mode to Ruler mode (by clicking on the
right mouse button) all text rulers on the current page will be
displayed automatically. You can select any one of the rulers with the
ruler cursor, which will then appear with a dark border like a
selected frame. You can find the functions required for working with
the ruler in the Rulers
and Clipboard
function groups.
To switch from Ruler mode back to Text mode, click on the right mouse
button again.
Each ruler may be assigned a ruler colour
, which you can
select from a list of 16 colours. This ruler colour will be displayed
in Ruler mode as a small colour patch to the left of the ruler. By
clicking on such a colour patch you can open a popup menu that shows
you all currently existing rulers in the text ruler list. In this way
you can replace the current ruler by another one quickly and without
long detours.
A pre-programmed mouse action occurs when you double-click on the
text ruler: The Ruler parameters
dialog (see below) opens
immediately, as if you had first activated the ruler and then clicked
on the Edit text ruler
icon (see below):
