Missing Ruler
I'm currently running Word 2k and the ruler is no longer displayed. I can
move my mouse over the ruler area and it appears ... then disappears. It was there a little while ago but not anymore. I also seem to have lost the View\Ruler option within Word. Cheers for the help. -- Be Happy! |

Graham has told you how to restore the View | Ruler command, which is what
you need to make sure the ruler is always displayed. The feature that is causing it to auto hide, however, is "Provide feedback with animation" on the General tab of Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, I have been going crazy trying to figure out why my ruler was
hiding. I would have never figured "Provide feedback..." THANKS! "Suzanne S.

If you have View | Ruler checked, it won't hide regardless of that setting,
but Word does have a tendency to turn the ruler off without asking. -- Suzanne S.

Missing Ruler
I'm using Office 2003 which I have recently patched from the Update website.
I have the View Ruler checked, plus I have turned off the Feedback with Animation, but Word in it's infinite wisdom STILL keeps hiding my rulers. The only way I can get them back is to go through the View Rulers again. It's more an annoyance than a problem, but I'd like word to remember that I view my rulers and stop hiding them! "Suzanne S.

If Word doesn't retain your settings, you can use these auto macros in
normal.dot: Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayVerticalRuler = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = False End Sub Sub AutoNew() ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayVerticalRuler = False ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = False End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. Also, note that the rulers are not visible in all views. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Alison Hudson" wrote in message ...

Missing Ruler
I learned that my problem was caused by having turned the ruler off in Print
Preview. Every time I used Print Preview and then closed it, the ruler would be off in the next Word window I opened. Once I turned the ruler back on in PP (even though I don't need or want it there), the problem was solved. -- Suzanne S.
