= SUMMARY =

In Word versions 4.0 and 5.0, when you hold down the SHIFT key and click the left scroll arrow, you can scroll to the left of the left paragraph indent marker on the ruler except under the following conditions:

Word Is in Page Layout View (Page View in Word 4.0) - In page layout view (page view in Word 4.0), when you press the SHIFT key and click the left scroll arrow, the insertion point moves to the zero mark and shows the gray area around the page. To use the SHIFT key and the left scroll arrow to scroll past the left paragraph indent, switch to normal view (galley view in Word 4.0):

Word 5.0

Press COMMAND+OPTION+N or select Normal from the View menu.

Word 4.0

Press COMMAND+B or clear the Page View command by choosing it from the Document menu. Note: In Word 5.0, the ruler has three scale buttons. See the back cover of the version 5.0 “Microsoft Word User’s Guide” for a description of each button.

The Ruler Is in Page Scale - The formatting buttons are unavailable (dimmed) and the left and right margins are indicated by “[&quot; and &quot;]” characters. If you are not in a table and the scale button has been selected once, Word is in page scale and the ruler shows the margins instead of the paragraph indent markers. Pressing the SHIFT key and clicking the left or right scroll arrow beyond the edge of the page shows the gray area around the page. To hold down the SHIFT key and click the scroll arrows:

Word 5.0

Click the indent scale button on the ruler.

Word 4.0

Click the scale button once. If you are in a table and the scale button has been clicked twice, Word is in page scale and the buttons are unavailable as described above. Click the scale button once to use SHIFT+scroll. To exit from this state in Word 5.0, click the indent scale button on the ruler.
