Controlling Image Placement October 25, 2006

This trick is very useful if you insert pictures into your documents and need to position them accurately on the page.
Click on the horizontal ruler at the top of the page. This is the ruler that shows measurements from 1 to 20.
Press and hold down the left mouse button.
A vertical line appears. You can use this for adjusting the layout of images.  
While holding down the left button, press and hold down the right button.
The ruler changes to a set of precise measurements, which show the exact distance the vertical line is from the page margins.  
You may notice that this leaves a tab marker in the horizontal ruler. If you want to delete this, click on the tab and drag it off the page.
