Not seeing Indent options when I place my cursor on the ruler
Normally, when you place your cursor on the ruler, you will see Haning Indent
or Left Indent depending on where you place the cursor. I am no longer seeing it. How do I get it back? |

Not seeing Indent options when I place my cursor on the ruler
I'm really not sure whether you mean you aren't seeing:
A) The Ruler, itself (Viewruler), B) The little Tip boxes (ToolsCustomize - tick the checkbox for 'Show ScreenTips on Toolbars'), or C) The Indent markers themselves... In which case further clarification is required as long as you are not in Reading Layout or Outline View.

Not seeing Indent options when I place my cursor on the ruler
Thanks for writing - sorry I was not clear. What I am referring to is the
icon that looks somewhat like an hour glass , i.e. an upside down triangle on top of a regular triangle that you can drag back and forth to serve as your left margin. If you point the cursor at the bottom half it will bring up a small dialog box that says "Hanging Indent." Point it at the very bottom and it says another kind of indent which I forget. Anyway, those little dialog boxes are not popping up and that is what i am interested in fixing. Thank you again for your rersponse.

Not seeing Indent options when I place my cursor on the ruler
Good morning. I looked at Step B and found that selection has been made but
I still don't see the small dialog box - I used to. Advice? "CyberTaz" wrote: Then you just need to follow point B of my previous post.

Not seeing Indent options when I place my cursor on the ruler
You are probably on a web layout or normal view. Try viewing it on a print
layout, and slowly drag that so-called hour glass to your right. -- Jonathan Realino Microsoft Office Specialist "LGFundfinder" wrote: Good morning.

I am not seeing it in any of the view options on my home computer whereas I
DO see it in normal view at work. Any thoughts?

Not seeing Indent options when I place my cursor on the ruler
Now I'm confused - but that's not particularly unusual :}
My earlier reply was generated from my system at work running 2003 on XP Pro. I confirmed on 2 systems before posting because I *thought* the tips should appear whenever the ruler was displayed. In Normal & Web Layout I had no tips display, but the did display in Print Layout. I just checked on my Mac/VPC7 running 2003 in XP Pro where I *do* have the tips display regardless of View. Unfortunately I don't have the respective build info available, but I wonder if there may be a glitch somewhere along the way from one update to the next. The only thing I can suggest is that you try HelpDetect & Repair - perhaps that will rectify it. I'll try to look a bit further, but won't be back in the office until next week (and time will be limited, I'm afraid.)
