Show vertical rulers in Word

Following a recent Microsoft Office365 update, my rulers stopped showing in Word. Each time I went in, I would have to go to the View tab on the ribbon, and re-tick the ruler box. However, it was only recently that I realised that the vertical ruler was also missing.

This too is relatively easy to get working again, but you do have to mine for it. Go to File | Options | Advanced | Display and ensure that that the "Show vertical ruler in Print Layout view" option is ticked. Click the OK button and back out.

Sometimes this change may 'stick'; sometimes you may need to redo it several times.

Good luck!
