Plus symbols appear on the ruler for each character position, including a
raised symbol for each fifth position. Numbers indicate every tenth
position (I for 10,2 for 20, and so forth). Tabs are preset at every raised +
and number. A capital letter T appears for each tab you set with the
Format Tabs command. A : symbol appears for the first line indent.
Brackets on the ruler indicate the width of the text, as determined by the
page width and margins (left and right) in the Format Document
command. The left bracket ([) usually appears as the first character on the
ruler. The right bracket appears in place of the 6 when the default margins
from the Format Document command are used. This indicates a 60
character printed page width (85 page width - 13 left margin - 12 right
margin
=
60).
