RULER DISAPPEARS

A

Aurora

I am using word 2003

Why, when I go up to the ruler to indicate my tabs, does the ruler disappear
- both vertical and horzontal rulers. Just the plain blue bar is there. I
checked "view" and the ruler is still checked. I find that if I place my
cursor over the ruler area I get a funny looking icon - it looks like an H
with an arrow pointing down to the cross bar on one side and an arrow
pointing up to the cross bar on the other side. (It says Hide White Space)
If I click on the icon, the ruler re-appears but my page (which is in print
view) looks like there is no margin at the top of the page. I click the icon
again and the margin reappears on my page. This is really getting very
annoying and I do not know how to stop this. Do anyone have any ideas??? I
would appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you - aurora

Make sure that you have "Provide feedback with animation" unchecked on the
General tab of Tools | Options. That setting causes the ruler to auto hide.
