Ruler-less in Word
After an hour of typing back-and-forth with the chat person, I was told that I should post my concern here because this fellow couldn't figure it out. I'm working with Microsoft Word on a MacBook Air...
Take this:
- Enable the Ruler:
- Open your Word document.
- Go to the View tab in the ribbon at the top.
- Check the box for Ruler under the "Show" group.
- Check Your Layout:
- Ensure you're in Print Layout view. You can switch to this view by going to the View tab and selecting Print Layout.
- Update Word:
- Make sure your Microsoft Word is up to date. Go to Help > Check for Updates in the Word menu.
- Reset Preferences:
- Sometimes, resetting Word's preferences can resolve display issues. Be cautious, as this will reset all your Word settings to default.
- MacOS Compatibility:
- If you're using MacOS Sonoma, there have been reports of compatibility issues affecting Word's ruler display. Updating to the latest version of MacOS or Word might help.
