If there is a meter that shows volt and ohms then it is showing you the amount of voltage and resistance there is. However these meters are two separate devices with different uses.

Answer

A 'volt ohmmeter' ('VOM') is a term used in North America to describe what is known, elsewhere, as a 'multimeter'. A multimeter combines the functions of a.c. and d.c. voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter. The advantage of a multimeter is that it avoids the necessity of having to carry about six separate measuring instruments.

When a voltmeter is connected to a resistor what will it read?

If you place an OHM meter across a resistor, it will read resistance. An OHM meter set to read voltage will read any voltage present. So, if you pick up a resistor, connect it to a volt meter, in theory, no voltage will be present. Unless you're feeding some sort of electricity through it. I'm certainly not an electrical engineer, I do however use a volt/ohm meter occasionally. A volt/ohm meter is a dual/multi purpose piece of equipment.
