📌 Why this matters
Enabling rulers transforms your slides from guesswork into precision design. You can align text boxes perfectly, create consistent margins across slides, and ensure graphics sit exactly where intended.

This becomes especially valuable when building slide templates or matching corporate brand guidelines that specify exact spacing requirements.
