Default Rulers in Word

Hi.
I do not want to see rulers. I hide them using view then unchecking
rulers.... But everytime I open up word they reappear. I do exactly the same
with the status bar ; tools, options and uncheck status bar. That too
reappears everytime. Is there a way to permanently hide both the ruler and
the status bar ?
Thank you for any input !

Create (or add to) an autonew and an autoopen macro in normal.dot, the
following

Application.DisplayStatusBar = False
With ActiveWindow
.DisplayVerticalRuler = False
.DisplayRightRuler = False
.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = False
End With
