That may seem like an insignificant difference, but it is enough to noticeably disrupt alignment.
I would go farther than this and say you NEVER want to adjust margins using the Ruler. Indents, perhaps; margins, NEVER.
Margins and Indents in Word

For an important document, use Styles to adjust your formatting.
