Move the ruler origin
The default location of the ruler origin depends on whether your publication is set up for single-page view or two-page view. For single page view, the ruler origin is at the upper left corner of the page for left-to-right page order, and at the upper right corner of the page for right-to-left page order. For two-page view, the default vertical ruler origin is at the upper left corner of the left page for left-to-right page order, and at the upper right corner of the right page for right-to-left page order. You can reposition the ruler origin to help you adjust elements relative to some other point on a page.
