Ruler in Outlook

Posted On November 16, 2018

Q: Is there a way to enable the rule option in Outlook?

A: Yes.

The ruler option in Word is also available in Outlook. Easy enough to turn on for specific client machines or for every Outlook client within your domain environment by applying a GPO.

Set the following registry key value:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Options\WordMail]

"Ruler"=dword:00000001 (Enables the Ruler)

"Ruler"=dword:00000000 (Disables the Ruler)
