You are not ready to edit the header at all; View Header takes you there.
Select Tools Options View tab and check the box for "white space between
pages"

All of a sudden, every time I open a new document in Word it comes up
ready
to edit in the header section - i.e. in the very top margin outside of the
text typing area. I have to hit Control-View-Header and Footer then do it
again to get me out of it. I have made sure the normal.dot template is
not
set that way. Anyone else have this problem?
