PUB98: Rulers Disappear When Inserting, Editing Object (178816)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher 98
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q178816 SYMPTOMS
When you insert a Microsoft PowerPoint 97 Slide or Presentation object into
a Microsoft Publisher publication, 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 that has
already been embedded into a publication.
This symptom does not occur if you insert a Microsoft Excel 97, Microsoft
Word 97, or Microsoft 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.
