Horizontal Ruler in Word 2007 is reversed
The ruler is reversed ONLY for one paragraph. I can't seem to figure out how to change it to read correctly. I have copied and pasted this text into several documents and tried to reformat it many times and have failed. HELP! 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...

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...

Displaying a ruler
Is 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?

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. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Johnotaker" <Johnotaker@discussions.microsoft...

Scrollview with Rulers
Hi all, I need to develop a CScrollview derived class with rulers. Does anybody have an idea of how to do it or does anybody have a sample application ? which would be very helpful. Thanx in advance thanvir 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 :-))) I did a project with a ruler here: http://www.codeproject.com/richedit/rulerricheditctrl.asp where you will find an implementation of a window and a ruler that might be of some guidance to ...

ruler & scale
Hi, 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.

Scale/Ruler displays incorrectly
I 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! Carlos ...

tab formatting on ruler
When 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. Thank.s If you are trying to use t...

I would like to insert a ruler across the top and side of my scree
This 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. -- Earl Kiosterud mvpearl omitthisword at verizon period net ------------------------------------------- "Barb33949" <Barb33949@discussio...

Keyboard shortcuts & resetting ruler zero points
I 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?

US Letter Size not displaying correctly with the rulers in Word

When I print, the output on paper does not look anything like the Print Layout view. <br><br>When I view the rulers, they are only showing about 7 1/4in for w, and 9in for length even though I have selected US Letter (8.5 X 11) under page set up.

Reading ruler/marker/thingy
Hi, 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...

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 grateful. Outlook 2007? Did you think to try a right, ...

moving layout or ruler guides above everything? in Publisher 2003
Is 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. Bulka9190 wrote: > Is there any way to move either th...
