Margin Markers not displayed
I am teaching Word 2003 to a retirement community group. They have their own
computer lab. On two of the eight computers, the Margin Markers are not visible. How can I make them visible? All the computers are in the Print Layout View with the rulers showing. The margin markers i am referring to are the images on the ruler. On the left, at the margin, should be a compound marker with a rectangle, an upward pointing triangle, and a downward pointing triangle. On the right margin marker should be an upward pointing triangle. These are the images that do not appear. |

Have the markers been dragged off to the left and right of the ruler? Check
the Format | Paragraph to see if there is a minus indentation. -- Rae Drysdale "Sol" wrote: I am teaching Word 2003 to a retirement community group. They have their own computer lab.

Since I will not be on site until Thursday, I tried it on my own
installation. I could not drag the markers all the way off to cause them to disappear. Moreover, when I dragged them as far as they would go (which was to zero left and right margins) the shaded areas on the ruler disappeared but not the marker. The computers in the lab did show the shaded areas. "Rae Drysdale" wrote: Have the markers been dragged off to the left and right of the ruler?

Try using the menu. Format | Paragraph and insert -20 cm in the indent area.
You will still see the dark blue area, but not the markers. -- Rae Drysdale "Sol" wrote: Since I will not be on site until Thursday, I tried it on my own installation.

When I enter -20cm, I get a message box telling me the measurement must be
between 0" and 22" "Rae Drysdale" wrote: Try using the menu. Format | Paragraph and insert -20 cm in the indent area.

Sorry, that should be -20 mm or if you work in inches -2 inch. Try different
minus measurements appropriate to whatever you are using. -- Rae Drysdale "Sol" wrote: "Rae Drysdale" wrote: Have the markers been dragged off to the left and right of the ruler?

Attempts to insert ANY negative measurement generates the message "the
measurement must be between 0 and ... ." In otherwords, a negative measurement is not accepted. "Rae Drysdale" wrote: Sorry, that should be -20 mm or if you work in inches -2 inch.

When you get to the computers, check the measurements on the paragraph
indentations (Format | Paragraph | Indentation) I can enter minus measurements here without any error messages. I can't enter minus measurements in Page Setup. -- Rae Drysdale "Sol" wrote: Attempts to insert ANY negative measurement generates the message "the measurement must be between 0 and ... ."
