Vertical Ruler Disappears

[melickas]

Using Word 2003 and this has always been a problem on my system. At
random, my vertical ruler decides not to show up on random douments. I
can open the same document 3-4 times with the vertical ruler showing,
not make any changes, and suddenly the vertical ruler is not showing
the next time the document opens or another document is opened. When
this happens, I check the Tool>Options> View and the setting for the
Vertical ruler is always checked.

I do not know if this is a ruler problem or a "View" problem. I just
thought of that... so have not checked to see if the View is changing
from "Print Layout" to "Normal" which would also cause the vertical
ruler to disppear.

Anyway, no matter what document I open I ALWAYS want the vertical ruler
to display. Is there an autohide setting, or something else I am
missing???

I have updated the office suite with latest patches.

Any ideas or similar situation?
