PUB: Rulers Disappear When Inserting, Editing Object (164266)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
- Microsoft Publisher 97
- Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q164266 SYMPTOMS
When you insert a PowerPoint 97 Slide or Presentation object into a
Publisher file, the rulers in Publisher disappear. The Publisher rulers remain
hidden until you close and restart Publisher.
The same symptom occurs if you double-click a PowerPoint 97 object
which has already been embedded into a publication.
This symptom does not occur if you insert an Excel 97, Word 97, or
PowerPoint 7.0 object into your publication.
CAUSE
When you insert a PowerPoint 97 object into a publication, the
Publisher toolbars and menus temporarily change to the PowerPoint 97
toolbars and menus. During the change, the Publisher rulers disappear.
Once you finish editing your PowerPoint object and click outside of
it, the Publisher toolbars and menus return. However, the rulers do
not reappear.
WORKAROUND
After you insert a PowerPoint 97 object into your publication, save
your work, and then restart Publisher. The rulers will now be visible.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
