How to Display Missing Rulers in Microsoft Word

When creating documents in Microsoft Word, sometimes there is messy writing, such as text that is not parallel to other elements besides, above, or below it. if that happens, I usually use the ruler feature provided by the Microsoft Word application to tidy it up. (where the ruler is located above the document we edited).

Sometimes the built-in ruler from Microsoft Office suddenly disappears, one of the silly things that causes this to happen is because of a wrong click by ourselves so that it gets rid of it, and we will realize that the ruler is missing when we want to use it.

For those of you who experience it, you don't need to worry because you are not alone, because I and millions of other Microsoft Word users may experience the same thing, and in this article, I will help you by sharing a tutorial on how to recover lost Microsoft Word rulers, just follow the steps below (by the way in this tutorial I use MS Word 2016).

The method is very easy, even only 1 step. Please visit the view tab at the top of Microsoft Word, then look for the word "Ruler" and please check it, see if Ruler appears !? if it appears it means this tutorial has also been completed. For more detailed instructions, please see the image below.
