Before I posted this, I tried looking EVERYTHING relating to rulers,
measurements, etc., in the manual.  I looked into every menu.  I did
everything EXCEPT try the sme things I used in Word... which I tried after
the post, and which worked.  Still, I wish the DEFAULT was to show as much as
possible on a 9" screen (I never would have thought to pick "Tall Adjusted"
if I hadn't heard about it in Word first).  

Sorry for the wasted bandwidth--I should've checked the Word methods first (?).
If anyone does know of a BETTER way, however, please feel free to e-mail me.
Thanks.
