How to Find Hidden Rulers in Microsoft Word

1. Move your cursor to the scroll bar on the far right side of the program. Hover the cursor over the button immediately above the scroll bar's upward arrow, which you can click to scroll up in the document. This button doesn't display any words, but when you hover the cursor over it, a small label titled 'View Ruler' pops up; click the button to reveal the Ruler.
2. Click the 'View' tab on the Ribbon. In the module labeled 'Show,' click the empty box next to 'Ruler.'
3. Click the 'File' tab on the Ribbon, then, near the bottom of the left column, click the 'Options' button. The Word Options menu opens. Click the 'Advanced' tab.
4. Click the box next to 'Show vertical ruler in Print Layout view,' under the 'Display' heading. You may need to scroll down the menu to find this heading.
5. Click 'OK' at the bottom of the menu.
