How do you make X4 PhotoPaint rulers visible?

I know you can use cntrl+shift+r to make rulers visible in PP but how can I keep them visible permanently? I tried save workspace but no option to "save setting as default"? What am I missing?

From PP's menu: Tools->Options->Workspace->Display. Make sure 'Show rulers by default' is checked then click on 'OK'.

Close PP then start it again. Rulers should be on by default, at startup.

It doesn't stay "checked" after closing and start new.

I just fired up WinXP in a virtual machine and ran CGS X5's PhotoPaint. I found the same Options dialog as you did. When I checked off 'Show rulers' (under Tools->Document->Ruler) and then clicked OK. Closed and then restarted PP. No Rulers showing! I re-opened the Options dialog and navigated to the same section and found the checkmark not set for Show rulers.

This is a bug, since you see it in X4 and I can duplicate it in X5.

But since X4 was released seven years ago, it is way too late to hope for a patch/update/service pack to fix this.

I did find that if you save the file, close, then re-open it the rulers are visible. It's only for anything new.
