But note that the header and footer are never displayed in Normal or Web
Layout view, only in Print Layout view.

Except Word's Normal View *never* shows headers/footers. Perhaps you
meant
the Print Layout/Page Layout view which looks like a normal piece of
paper?

Issue: When I create a new document and when in normal, or print, or
web
view, the page area displayed is only the content area, excluding my
header,
footer, and margin areas.

I know that headers and footers must be viewed to enter text. That is
not
the issue. The very top of my page is actually the bottom of my header,
and
the insertion point is placed a pixel location 0,0. With or without
text in
the header, the header area is simply not shown. The same for the
footer.

If I 'view' headers and footers, make no changes, and close the view,
the
header & footer areas are now displayed and my insertion point is
located 1"
below the top border and 1" from the left border as it should be based
on the
page setup.

This is not a page setup issue. I can increase margins all the way
around
to whatever I want. Still, the area displayed in normal or print view
is
only the body area excluding margins.

I have deleted normal.dot completely with no difference. I have
uninstalled
MS Office completely and re-installed with no difference.

Any suggestions?
