At the top of my window I have small, very boring shadowed line which is
becoming a ruler when I am passing over it by mouse. I hadn't that before.
How to kill it?

Tnx in advance.

Hi Alex,

If you don't want the ruler, open the View menu and uncheck the Ruler item.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Probably "View > Ruler" is already unchecked. To avoid the pop-up ruler,
you'd have to uncheck "Tools > Options > General > Provide feedback with
animation".

Don't know if anything else is changed by that setting. The animated menus
are set somewhere else ("Tools Customize > Options").

Gee Klaus: u r the Guru

Thank you very much. I've played with switching of Tools > Options by vb and
thought that everything what is not passed through code will remain the
same. Now I am not sure: if you are doing something by code and skip the
line, what will be result? I remeber perfectly well that I didn't touch the
'Provide feedback with animation'. Uncheked (not included) turning back to
defult? What defult? Normal template or some independent word understanding?

Thanks Doug also) I know how to uncheck the ruller - the first what I
always do.

Tnx again,

Alex

Suzanne S. Barnhill is the guru: I learned that from her just recently.

I've found that setting some options in code can affect other settings.

For example
Options.PrintComments=True
turns on
Options.PrintHiddenText

Don't know which setting may have affected "Provide feedback with
animation".

Hi Alexander,

Yes, the macro recorder records lots of stuff you didn't touch with about
all dialogs (and sometimes fails to record things you did change).

I think this is one of the most important things that should be fixed in
Word/VBA.
Many users don't want to have to learn VBA to record the occasional macro,
and even for those who do, a working macro recorder would be the best place
to start.

Well, I am not novice at all but when I need something fast, I prefer to
record macro, read what it wrote) and choose what I need. Actually,
recording is the way how you can learn the language.

Done.
