Default How do I view the ruler in an Outlook message and/or insert tabs?

I'm attempting to set tabs in an Outlook message. I'm unable to find how to
view the ruler in order to set the tabs. I believe it used to be in the View
drop down menu, but it's no longer there.

Not an Outlook issue since the ruler is a feature of Word.

Outlook's embedded new-mail editor does not have a ruler. Word has a
ruler. To use Word, you need to select Word as the new-mail editor (in
Outlook 2007, you're stuck using Word 2007).

In Word's e-mail template, the View - Ruler menu entry is disabled
until you change focus to the body of the e-mail (since the ruler has no
meaning elsewhere).

Mentioning WHICH version of Outlook that you use can let respondents
help you that know or use that particular version.

The ruler is activated by clicking the "View ruler" button in the upper
right corner of the message pane.

Yep, because in Outlook 2007 you are using (and stuck with using) *WORD*
as the new-mail editor. We'll have to wait until the OP responds to
find out which version Outlook that THEY use.
