Blinking ruler
I have installed Office XP (Version 2002) Professional on my laptop. When I
am working in Word the upper left corner of the ruler bar is continually blinking. This is not happening on my desktop - only the laptop. I have shut down the document, program and computer, but the problem does not go away. It is not allowing me to customize the toolbar because everytime it blinks it resets the scroll bar to the top. It appears that there is "something" under the symbol when it blinks but for the life of me I can not tell what it is? Please help!!! |

Blinking ruler
By "blinking," do you mean that it displays only when you mouse over the top
of the screen? If so, checking Ruler on the View menu should make it remain in view. But the "auto hide" behavior is caused by checking the box for "Provide feedback with animation" on the General tab of Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.

Blinking ruler
Thanks for the response, however, the blinking is continual it has nothing to
do with the mouse over the top of the screen. I can click on the upper left corner of screen and it will allow me to do so, however it still continues to blick or flicker. I also tried to unselect the "Provide feedback with animation" and it still does the same thing. No change. Any other suggestions? Suzanne S.
