What do you mean with 'reset ruler origins'? Can't find something relevant in the View menu entry or Tools > Options page. @Bug reporter: can you please provide more information so we can try to reproduce this behavior? Kind regards, Joren
Well, it's as plain as the egg on my face... The only helpfile reference I can find to this feature, I now realize, only mentions Impress at the top of the page: "You can use vertical and horizontal rulers at the left and upper edges of the LibreOffice Impress workspace..." "To change the origin (0 point) of the rulers, drag the intersection of the two rulers in the top left corner into the workspace. Vertical and horizontal guides appear. Continue to drag until the vertical and horizontal guides are where you want the new origin to be, and then release. To reset the origins of the rulers to the default values, double-click the intersection." I must have remembered this feature from my ancient version of Visio. I should probably re-enter this bug as a request for a new feature. Also, my apologies for the inefficient use of bandwidth; I'm new to this open-source stuff and I need to learn the reporting conventions.
Thanks for your extra information!

Drag the intersection to my workspace result in ... nothing. > I must have remembered this feature from my ancient version of Visio. I > should probably re-enter this bug as a request for a new feature. Why you should so? Looks like this doesn't work as it is mentioned in the documentation. Possibly related to Bug 65622. > Also, my apologies for the inefficient use of bandwidth; I'm new to this > open-source stuff and I need to learn the reporting conventions. No need to apologize :). Thanks for your extra information and feedback! Tested using Windows 8, with LibreOffice 4.1.0.1 and latest master. Reproducible. Kind regards, Joren
I tried adding vertical ruler as per Help info for Writer. But it only appeared on a single page of my document. I needed this so I could insert a "fold mark" short horizontal line at the appropriate place on the left hand side of the first page of my document, but the vertical ruler was on the second page. On the Writer/Tools/Options, the horizontal and vertical ruler were already selected. I tried deselecting and reselecting them, but that didn't change anything, still just got vertical ruler on the wrong single page of the document. Eventually cured the problem by going to View, not for Writer, but for Writer-Web, which also contained selections for horizontal and vertical rulers, and then got my vertical ruler on the first page of the document.
