Redraw

You may need to redraw the
screen when you notice that
the appearance of some items
on the screen change after you
change another item. This is
because it can take a while for
the application to redraw every
component on a complicated
page. Often, applications
redraw only some of the
components to save time. If
you need complete accuracy,
however , use the Redraw
choice to force the application
to take the time to redraw every
component of your page.

Showing Rulers

rulers in various units: inches,
centimeters, points, or picas.

columns.
