Horizontal ruler keeps disappearing
I have Word 2003. My horizontal ruler (located beneath the toolbars) keeps
disappearing from documents with no rhyme or reason. I got so frustrated that I finally added the "View Ruler" command to my custom toolbar. Can you tell me why this is happening and how to make it stop (without having to use the view ruler command)? |

Horizontal ruler keeps disappearing
Hi ?B?bGhhbGwzMzk1MA==?=,
I have Word 2003. My horizontal ruler (located beneath the toolbars) keeps disappearing from documents with no rhyme or reason. I got so frustrated that I finally added the "View Ruler" command to my custom toolbar. Can you tell me why this is happening and how to make it stop (without having to use the view ruler command)? My best guess would be you have some add-in tool installed that's doing this. Any idea what kind of tools you may have installed, so that you can try shutting them off, one-by-one?

Horizontal ruler keeps disappearing
Thank you for your reply. However, as I don't even know what an add-in tool
is I really don't think I've installed any and therefore doubt that's my solution. Thanks for trying. Hopefully, someone else out there will recognize my problem and respond.

Horizontal ruler keeps disappearing
I had this problem and finally learned that it was a result of having the
ruler turned off in Print Preview. Every time I switched to Print Preview and back, the next window I opened didn't have the ruler displayed. Like you, I had finally, in desperation, added the View Ruler button to a toolbar, but I no longer need it now that I added the ruler back to Print Preview (even though I don't need it there and it takes up valuable space). -- Suzanne S.

Horizontal ruler keeps disappearing
Suzanne, I think I love you! Thank you so much. First, you're absolutely
right, I have no idea why anyone would need the ruler on the print preview screen and I'm sure I unknowingly must have switched the toggle "off" some time. But since I never use it I would NEVER have tho't to check there. You have solved my problem. Now I just have to remember what the solution is the next time I inadvertently turn the ruler off (I'm sure it'll happen). Thanks again. "Suzanne S.

Horizontal ruler keeps disappearing
Thank Beth Melton for this one. I think she had to tell me this at least
three times before it finally "took." -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne, I hope you get this. You are really a life saver. I was so frustrated that my ruler in PPT kept disappearing despite the fact that I had the 'view ruler' button ticked. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
