Kirk L. Wentworth said: Since moving to web indexing, the width of the highlighting ruler can no longer be changed. All records vary, and it was much nicer when the ruler could be adjusted in width. It still works OK with many records; however, with some records it is not a useful tool at all. I would like to see a ruler that can be adjusted in width--not just color and transparency.

    My wife and I agree. Make the ruler's thickness adjustable.

    Hi Loyd. If you use a Windows PC, there is a little FREE ruler/reading guide program called “A Ruler for Windows” that is adjustable in many, many ways, including thickness, length and even orientation. I have used it for several years. Here is the website link:

    https://www.arulerforwindows.com

    The developer has a nice video on his website that (pretty briskly) demonstrates it’s functionality. Here below is a summary of its various features.
