SYMPTOMS
If you select all or part of a document and the selection extends over a page break, the vertical and horizontal rulers may disappear. If you scroll to the top or bottom of the selection, one or both of the rulers may reappear.

NOTE: This problem also occurs when you select a table and the table extends over a page break.



CAUSE
This problem occurs only in Page Layout view (on the View menu, click Page Layout) and the selection is longer than one page. By design, the Word horizontal ruler displays the settings for the last paragraph in a selection. (If nothing is selected, Word displays the settings for the paragraph where the insertion point is located.) Similarly, Word displays the vertical ruler only for the page where the selection ends (or where the insertion point is located).
