The next thing I'd try would be to create a new Windows user profile, to see
if the problem exists for a new user, as well.
I don't remember whether Office 2002 has a "repair" option. If it does, have
you tried [something like] Help - Detect and Repair from Word's Help menu?

settings problem. It might be a registry corruption issue, which can
sometimes prevent screen elements from displaying correctly.
If you start Word with the /a switch (start - run - type winword.exe /a),
does the tab type character show up now?
I ran winword.exe /a but still no tab stops.

news
I have word 2002.
The tab stop symbol is missing from the far left of the horizontal
ruler.
I
cannot set tab stops.
What is wrong?
I changed the view to "Normal" from "Print Layout". Still no tab
stops.
Could I have changed the normal template or unchecked a box or
something?
