How to hide/show ruler in Word 2011

[Glenny2lappies]

Simple question: how does one hide and show the ruler in Word 2011. ?

In Word 2008 it was View > Ruler. This is missing in Word 2011.

I am curious why this is not working for you (it does for me).

1. Open Word
2. In The Menu Bar/View
3. Click on "Ruler"

Is "ruler" greyed out or not even appear?

A partial screenshot is attached. I can't see any Ruler item in the View menu.

Just to reiterate, it's Word 2011 which has freshly been installed on a machine that had Office 2008 installed.

Strange. Here's mine on a machine which never had any other version of Word installed.

Thanks Microsoft. I so like these mysteries...

Just like the one I had earlier where Word refused to select a word when I double-clicked on it... Now it does.

I suppose I'll need to reboot my machine. Swear a few magical incantations and hope that it'll work:-(

Word 2011 enables the ruler in Draft and Print Layout views, but not in either Web Layout or Outline view.
