Vertical ruler does not display top margins of less than 1 inch
In Word 2003, in the Page Layout view, when I change the top margin to less
than 1 inch, the markings on the vertical ruler above the top margin will disappear. Therefore I cannot easily read what the top margin is when it is less than 1 inch. (Note that this is not the "white space" problem where the header disappears.) Is this a known Word 2003 problem? Does anyone know of a fix? |

Does anyone know of a fix? I do see that behavior in Word 2003; I don't have access at the moment to earlier versions to see whether it's new or old behavior. I don't think I'd call it a "problem", because the markings are so imprecise that you can't really tell much by looking at them even when they're visible. There are two ways to set or find out the exact value: - Quickly: Hold the Alt key while you click or drag the boundary between the header and non-header areas on the vertical ruler. The measurement appears within the ruler. If you're "just looking", be careful not to drag, as that will change the setting (but Undo will restore it if you do). - Slower, but more precise and less risky: Display the File Page Setup dialog (Alt+f, u) and type a value in the Top box. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

This doesn't happen in 2000, but in 2003 it seems that the sub-unit markings
vanish with the displayed number. If the margin is less than whatever increment is marked with a number - 1" or 1cm or 20mm or 36points - the markings vanish. -- Enjoy, Tony "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
