When you’re using MS Outlook 2007 to write a message that’s more than just a bunch of text – maybe something more like a flyer announcement instead of a message – do you find yourself missing the ruler feature of Word or PowerPoint to help with the layout?

Never fear – that much desired ruler is closer than you think.

When you’re working on the message take a quick look at the right side of the message window.

See it?

Yep – it’s a little View Ruler button.

One click and the ruler is visible, another click and it’s all put away.

Oh – and almost as a “bonus” – you’ll find that same handy little button in Word 2007 as well.

Now that’s what I call an easy way to make things measure up.
