Show or hide the drawing ruler

Applies to: Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003

Click Ruler on the View menu to show or hide the rulers (ruler: Vertical and horizontal guides, marked in inches, that can be turned on or off. The origin (or zero marker) changes based on what is selected on the slide (text, text box, or shape).) at the top and left side of the slide pane.

Note When you move the pointer or a drawing tool, its movement is traced on the rulers to show you precisely where you are on the slide.
