DisplayRulers Property

Microsoft Word Visual Basic

DisplayRulers Property

       

True if rulers are displayed for the specified window or pane. Equivalent to the Ruler command on the View menu. Read/write Boolean.

Note   If DisplayRulers is False, the horizontal and vertical rulers won't be displayed, regardless of the state of the DisplayVerticalRuler property.

Example

This example toggles the ruler display for the active window.

ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.DisplayRulers = _
    Not ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.DisplayRulers

This example switches the window to print layout view and displays the horizontal and vertical rulers.

With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow
    .View.Type = wdPrintView
    .DisplayVerticalRuler = True
    .DisplayRulers = True
End With
