I am using Mac OS 10.6 (yes I know it is getting a bit long in the tooth). I am using MS Word for Mac 2011.

I am trying to solve what seems to be a rather complicated problem for word. I am trying to get the horizontal ruler to show. Sometimes I get it and start setting tabs, but soon it disappears. I then try to get it back, but there seems to be no direct way. I have consulted MS help site with little joy as the initial instruction is:

"Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Word Options."

I do not have a MS Office Button showing. When I search for one or for ruler there are no matches.
