Line numbers for viewing only, tabs (decimal, margin adjustments, plus

Cheryl, directly under the "file, edit, mail, community, etc." line should be the tab stop indicators and on the far left the option to choose right or left or decimal tabs. I have lost that line feature and don't know how to retrieve it. Can you help me? I'm using Office 2000.

Also, on the option to have "pointer" indication of each icon, so to speak, I can engage that and use it but it drops off and will not stabilize when the document is closed. I'd appreciate any assistance.
