<div><br></div>Honestly, I would encourage not to have a show/hide ruler button in the scroll bar area, as:<div>1) There would be size problems, as there are with the navigation buttons at the bottom of the scrollbar, which are barely usable since they're so small.</div>

<div>If you think we really need an up-front ruler toggle, how about putting it in the Standard toolbar, next to the other "View" buttons ("Navigator", "Gallery" "Data Sources", "Non-Printing Characters)? Or, if you think that would stretch the Standard toolbar too much, you could put all of these commands under a "View" drop-down.</div>

</div> Nice write-up. Samuel - just changing the setting by itself - without<br>
making it really easy to re-show the rulers - with a suitable button<br>
around the scroll-bar there might be a bit much ? :-) Any chance of<br>
implementing a "toggle hide/show rulers" button ?<br>
