MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The style bar will disappear on every other page if the following settings exist:


 * 1) The Format Division Margins “gutter margin:” field is set to any value greater than zero.
 * 2) The Options “show style bar:” field is set to Yes.
 * 3) The Options “show layout:” field is set to Yes.

The style bar is not displayed on the pages that have a gutter margin on the left side.

This will also occur in Word Version 5.50. The following steps will reproduce this display:


 * 1) The Format Margins Gutter: field is set to any value greater than zero.
 * 2) The Style Bar checkbox within the View Preferences dialog box is active (an “X” appears in the brackets).
 * 3) The View Layout mode is active (a bullet appears next to Layout, and a “LY” appears in the status bar below).

When in Show Layout, the style bar is shown only for “left most” objects. When you are in Show Layout with a document that has gutter margins, text on odd pages are no longer considered “left most” objects so word will not show the style bar on these pages. This is also true for absolutely positioned objects, side-by-side paragraphs, or entries in a second column.
