How do I reset the vertical ruler to its default setting?
I've messed up Microsoft Word so that the vertical ruler is altered,
covering the whole page from top to botom, and I can't highlight the line to make the ruler shorter. Also, if I highlight text, and type something, it doesn't erase the previous text. |

Answer: How do I reset the vertical ruler to its default setting?
Hey there! It sounds like you're having a bit of trouble with the vertical ruler and text highlighting in Microsoft Word. Don't worry, I'm here to help!
To reset the vertical ruler to its default setting, you can follow these steps:
As for the issue with text highlighting, it sounds like you might have accidentally turned on the "Overtype" mode in Word. This mode allows you to overwrite existing text as you type, instead of inserting new text. To turn off Overtype mode, you can follow these steps:
That should fix the issue with text highlighting.

For the first problem, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm. For the second, on the Edit tab of Tools | Options, check the box for "Typing replaces selection." -- Suzanne S.

That's probably because you need to go into Tools Options and check the "white space between pages" box. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm. Also, if I highlight text, and type something, it doesn't erase the previous text. In the same dialog, check the "Typing replaces selection" box. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
