Make rulers available in excel!This is a quote from Office Excel Help, "Unlike Microsoft Word, Excel does
not provide a horizontal or vertical ruler, and there is no quick way to
measure the width or height of a worksheet in inches." Well, why not? (Just
the fact that it is written so clearly in Excel Help means I am not the only
one to look for it.
Make rulers available in ALL office apps, not just Word. Getting columns
and rows to fit correctly on a page is important. It shouldn't be a chore.
Just make the rulers available so we can see what we are doing without having
to go into and out of page...

Does Word think the language of that paragraph is Hebrew or Arabic?
(Turn on the display by right-clicking down in the Status Bar if the
language isn't showing.) If so, select the paragraph and choose the
correct language from the pop-up you get when you click the language
name.
If Hebrew or Arabic is activated on your computer, then you'll have a...

How do I change the ruler to inches in access
It's generally considered polite to put your question in the body of the
post, rather than strictly post a subject. As well, details such as what
version of Access and of Windows can be useful.
That having been said, Access gets its unit of measure from the operating
system. The only way to have the ruler in Access be in inches is to choose
U.S. rather than Metric for the Measurement Units in Regional Settings in
the Control Panel.

Displaying a rulerIs there a ruler to display in Microsoft Office Onenote?
If you think of a ruler similar to the one in Word, then no.
However, you can have ruled lines if you go to Format > Rule Lines and then
select a style for ruled lines.
I hope this helps.

How do I make ruler/grid in binary divisions rather than decimal?With inches, the dimensional are usually specified as binary fractions: in
1/2th, 1/4th, 1/8th, etc. Visio seems to support only decimal divisions on
grid and rulers. Any possibility to show them with binary divisions? any
custom script?
Found it: Change units to just "Inches" (instead of "Inches (decimal)").
Should not it be default for mechanical drawings with US units?

tab formatting on rulerWhen creating a document and I set my margins and tab the stylus (or whatever
that pointer thing is called) lines up perfectly with the marks on the ruler.
After saving document and then I go back to edit the document, when I try to
move the stylus, it does not line up with the mark. It is either a little
before the number of a little after.
If I hold down the Alt key and move the stylus it moves in small increments
and I can line it up.
Any idea why this does this and how I can fix it. It is very time consuming
to have to do this.

anybody have an idea of how to do it or does anybody have a sample

thanvir,
You might want to experiment with two dialog bars docked to the left- and
top side of the frame respectively - as you will probably not want the
scrollbars to move the rulers as well :-)))

ruler & scaleHi,
Can I set the ruler to start at a specicif measurement in x amount of
intervals.
Eg. i want the ruler to be from 0-22-44-66-88.
So the intervals must be 22.
IS this possible?
Also can i start the ruler at 418 and also increase intervals of 22. That
means the ability to start at any number which is divisble by 22.
Thanku

Scale/Ruler displays incorrectlyI have a simple drawing, 1:1 scale, inches, nothing fancy. The kind you
get by pressing the "new" button and not changing anything.
I'd like to have 100% zoom display as actual size (1 in on screen = 1 in
on diagram). However, 100% zoom appears to be displaying closer to a
114% factor. I know Photoshop has a way to tell it what your screen DPI
is. Is there a way to fix this problem in Visio?
Thanks!

Keyboard shortcuts & resetting ruler zero pointsI recently moved to Visio '07 from 2000, and I find that many of the keyboard
shortcuts available in the older version appear to be missing. For instance
F8 used to call up the Align Shapes dialog.
Are they no longer used, or might there be an "add-on" to the app that has
the shortcuts or allows them to be set?
Also, is there a way to reset the zero points on the rulers or are these
points fixed?
Thanks

I would like to insert a ruler across the top and side of my screeThis seems like it should be simple but I can't find it
Barb,
There isn't one. You could make one with the Drawing toolbar. If it's
linear measurement (such as inches or cm), you're interested in, a ruler
would apply only to printing, not the screen, since the screen can be zoomed
up or down, different size monitors can be used, and the monitor resolution
changed, all affecting the physical size of the stuff displayed.

Where are tab button and vertical ruler?I can't find the tab button or the vertical ruler - found the horizontal
ruler button, great. Did a search but the only tabs referred to are those
across the ribbon. At the left end of this ruler found the hanging indents
as before and in the space to the left of them, if I wiggle the mouse about,
a label appears with a type of tab on it, click the mouse and it changes but
spend ages wiggling the mouse to see what it has changed to. Totally time
wasting, perhaps its me but if someone can help pleeeeeaaaassse, I'd be most

Reading ruler/marker/thingyHi,
Are you familiar with the process of using a ruler or (I'm talking about
actual paper here, not a computer screen) if preferable using those rulers
with a colored transparent strip in them to mark the page you're reading or
proofing? As you move further in the document you mark the line your reading
with the ruler. Kinda like keeping a finger pressed below the last word
you've read. It makes it easy to proof against another copy when you must
move back and forth between pages without getting lost.
Does Word have a similar feature? Something that when click...

moving layout or ruler guides above everything? in Publisher 2003Is there any way to move either the layout guides or ruler guides to the very
top of all items on the page?
When I import an image (JPG photo) to use as my background and make it as
big as the whole page, it covers all the guides and I can not see the layout
guides or any of the ruler guides I drag out.
Even if I use 'Order' and 'Send to Back' it does not move the photo behind
the guides.
Is there a solution to this? Since my photo covers the whole page, the
guides do not even peek out at the edges of the layout.

watched the demos and read all the pages relating to them in the online help

Changing Table columns and RulersThis is a very beginner question on adding Tables to a Word doc.
Using Word 2008.
I'm trying to center a table and change its indents from the margins.
I find that when the cursor changes to the double-arrow one (preparing
to drag column borders) then the horizontal Ruler changes to a different
zero point. With the change in the Ruler, it is very difficult to make
sure the table is centered, the widths of the two columns are the same
and the outside "border indent is how I want it.
I assume I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks for any tips.
