Sometimes, despite setting equal the right and left margin of a Word document, the left and right margins seem to be unequal.(see the attached word document in which left and right margins has been set to .2”, but the margins seem to be unequal. Can you guide me on this issue?

The paragraphs have a left indent, as the ruler shows you.

Right indent?

Indents are paragraph formatting. Margins are section formatting. Generally, the paragraph settings will control.

No, left indent. It's a right to left language.

Thank you for the correction. Shows my ignorance.

So, in a right-to-left language, on the Ruler, the left indent is set on the right?

Yes, to achieve RTL the page is reversed so, left becomes right, and right becomes left.
