Margins Appear Different Between Text Ruler and Graphics Ruler (All)

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
The graphics ruler starts measuring from the beginning of the left margin (printable area) whereas the text ruler starts measuring from the edge of the page (including non-printable area). Therefore it may appear you have less printable area in a Paint or Draw document vs. a Word Processing document even though the margins are the same.
