You have to count on customizing every (new) installation of a product, not
just Word/Office, to suit your needs. Unfortunately, this isn't necessarily
getting easier with newer versions of software. :-(
On the contrary, it seems to me that the software industry as a whole tries
to make interfaces as "clean" as possible, meaning that useful features are
hidden by default, in a fresh installation. sigh

It's possible that you "lost" the ruler when you installed a new version
of
Office. I don't remember for certain, but I think that the ruler isn't
displayed by default.
