Setting Display Options
In addition to using the zoom controls to change the magnification (see "Setting the Magnification" in Chapter 2), you can show or hide the following elements in the document window by clicking check boxes in the Show group on the View tab (Figure 4.18):
- Ruler. Use the ruler to position objects, set paragraph indents, and set tab stops.
- Gridlines. When enabled, each page is overlaid with a visible grid (Figure 4.19). Placed objects automatically snap to the nearest grid intersection.
- Navigation Pane. In Word 2010, the Navigation Pane (Figure 4.20) replaces the Document Map. Use the Navigation Pane to move directly to a specific document page, heading, or search result. For instructions, see "Using the Navigation Pane," later in this chapter.
