In the document editing window, navigate to the View tab. The toolbar will display various functional groups; under the Show section, check the Ruler option.

Similarly, if you prefer not to display Ruler in Word 2019, repeat the same steps to disable this feature.
Step 2: Dealing with Hidden Vertical Ruler in Word 2019

To reveal the hidden vertical ruler, click on the File tab. A different working window will appear; navigate through the categories and select Options.
Next, click on the Advanced category, scroll to the Display section. Here, check the box Show vertical ruler in Print Layout view, and don't forget to click OK to save the settings.
Returning to the document editing interface, you will notice that Word 2019 has now displayed both the horizontal and vertical rulers in full. If you've followed all the steps above and the tool is still hidden, try closing the working window and re-executing the steps as outlined in the article.
