If the extra large zoom is an issue, make the Word window narrower instead, which is not an issue with a wide screen monitor. You should be able to find a compromise that suits you.

Word 2013 still has the line associated with the tab and the margin setting from the ruler?

The tab selection area is, as you say, smaller, but it works much the same. Far better however to set your tabs in the paragraph styles used in your documents.

Thanks. That's another simple solution I didn't think of. My problem is that I'm so used to having maximized windows that it bugs me to narrow them. But that's a pilot error problem, not a Word problem. :-)

Could you clarify this part of your post? I'm not sure what you mean:

"Word 2013 still has the line associated with the tab and the margin setting from the ruler?"

Thanks very much.

It was a reference to:
I assumed that you meant the line indicators associated with vertical and horizontal rulers, to aid tab alignment and margin setting, was missing. It is not. Perhaps you meant something else?

The only application I can recall that had movable rulers was Pagemaker, and I have not seen that for some time. Word's ruler is associated with the page size, with '0' at the margins.

Yes, I think it was a desktop publishing program I was thinking of where you could drag a full line onto the document to help with alignment. I don't know why I thought Word did that.

Thanks for the reply.
