Ruler disappears in Word

[Guest]

At work I startup Word each day with the Ruler displayed. It then keeps
disappearing and I keep going in to View Ruler to display it again. Funnily
enough, it never happens at home where I have the same versions of Word and
Windows running. I have noted Suzanne's info about General tab in Options
and will compare that at work. Thanks Suzanne. As Suzanne said Word has a
habit of turning it off - maybe I wil have to live with that, just funny that
it does not happen at home where I generate all my macros that I use at work.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?Sm9zZQ==?=,

At work I startup Word each day with the Ruler displayed. It then keeps
disappearing and I keep going in to View Ruler to display it again. Funnily
enough, it never happens at home where I have the same versions of Word and
Windows running. I have noted Suzanne's info about General tab in Options
and will compare that at work.

In almost fifteen years I have NEVER experienced Word simply "turning off" the
ruler for no reason. If the setting isn't sticking, and deleting the DATA key
doesn't solve the problem (article on word.mvps.org for restoring settings
stored in the Registry), then I'd suspect a macro on the system that's causing
this. Which version of Word?

Word doesn't turn off the ruler in any window in which I have it displayed,
but it frequently opens without the ruler (despite the fact that it is
always displayed when I close Word), and it frequently opens new document
windows without it. Since this happens intermittently throughout a working
day in which Word (and indeed Document1) is continuously open, it is
entirely too random (IMO) to be the work of any add-in, and I have no macros
except in add-ins that load at startup (and only three of those:
DataPrompter, TaskPaneController, and PDFMaker; it I had to indict one, it
would be the last <g>).

One of my coworkers is having a problem with the ruler changing from inches
to points whenever she creates a PDF document. If a resolution is determined,
I will post results.
