ruler Last modified: Sunday, September 01, 1996
In word processing, a line running across the display screen. It measures the page layout in points, picas, inches, or centimeters. It is sometimes called the ruler line and is particularly useful for setting margins and tabs. Sophisticated desktop publishing systems and page layout programs sometimes support movable rulers that you can move around the display screen to measure particular items of text or graphics.
