Word now opening with cursor at top of page
in [Help and Support]

From: Merryterry on 4 May 2010 06:30 When I open Word 2003/Windows XP the cursor is at the top of the page rather than a few lines down as it used to be. I have had this problem before and cured it with this forums help but forgot to keep a copy. How do I solve it?

To change that, go to File, Page Setup, and set the margins to what you want. -- SC Tom

Try the Office news groups Two: You should use the MENU line to select VIEW and choose "Print Layout" Three: You should go to the MENU line to select TOOLS, then OPTIONS and in the VIEW tab make sure there is a check mark in the box for "Show white spaces between pages".

it may be that you have hidden the white space at the top and bottom of the document. if you move the mouse pointer to the top of the page and the cursor turns to two arrows pointing together and says "double click to show white space" then this is what has happened. Just double click to restore the header and footer view I hope that helps.
