A while back someone posted a tip on how to set Microsoft Word to
default to opening documents with the ruler active.  I extracted
it and now that I need to do this I can't find it.  Of course the
answer is successfully evading me in the manual too.  Can anybody
be of help?

Simply open an untitled document, select 'open documents with ruler'
from the comands menu, and press the 'do' button.

It would make far too much sense this to be in the 'prefrences' box :-}

The very good book on MS Word 4, Word 4 Companion, describes how to do
this.  It is on page 685.  In essence, go to the Commands... item under
Edit.  Then select Open Documents with Ruler in the left box and then
click in Do.  Easy as that.
